00:00:00.079 --> 00:00:02.280
anyway just building off what we did
00:00:02.280 --> 00:00:06.319
last week we were talking mostly about
00:00:06.319 --> 00:00:13.559
getting a couple all right
00:00:13.559 --> 00:00:15.540
most people are saying that we're good
00:00:15.540 --> 00:00:17.390
to go
00:00:17.390 --> 00:00:20.039
should be all set
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:22.220
um building off of what we did last week
00:00:22.220 --> 00:00:24.810
where we were talking about offseason
00:00:24.810 --> 00:00:26.970
training programs and and working either
00:00:26.970 --> 00:00:32.250
in the gym or on the range I thought
00:00:32.250 --> 00:00:34.170
that training is would be a good topic
00:00:34.170 --> 00:00:36.360
because I get periodic questions either
00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:40.170
from my students in person or from you
00:00:40.170 --> 00:00:43.230
guys through the site and training aids
00:00:43.230 --> 00:00:45.950
can be really helpful or they can
00:00:45.950 --> 00:00:49.410
absolutely derail what you're working on
00:00:49.410 --> 00:00:52.770
and I'll use a few examples of golfers
00:00:52.770 --> 00:00:54.360
in the past who have sabotage what we
00:00:54.360 --> 00:00:55.920
were working on by using the wrong
00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:01.620
training but before we before we jump
00:01:01.620 --> 00:01:03.329
into specific training aids and what
00:01:03.329 --> 00:01:05.939
they work on let me just kind of paint
00:01:05.939 --> 00:01:08.939
the big picture you want to use training
00:01:08.939 --> 00:01:15.840
aids I see why would someone have to
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:20.720
audios Wes or Flores
00:01:27.030 --> 00:01:36.720
that's what I've used in the past what
00:01:37.289 --> 00:01:42.340
I'm I see that I see that money out
00:01:42.340 --> 00:01:44.920
there has two different audios um I
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:49.420
would check I would check your
00:01:49.420 --> 00:01:51.220
particular output because we just
00:01:51.220 --> 00:01:52.509
checked it here and it seems like we're
00:01:52.509 --> 00:01:58.330
pretty good so anyway I I want you to
00:01:58.330 --> 00:02:01.110
always know what you're working on so
00:02:01.110 --> 00:02:04.030
there are there are a few key skills
00:02:04.030 --> 00:02:05.380
that you want to work on whenever you're
00:02:05.380 --> 00:02:07.420
trying to improve your golf game one is
00:02:07.420 --> 00:02:10.080
how you create speed which would include
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:14.920
sequencing drills and let's say rhythm
00:02:14.920 --> 00:02:15.670
drills
00:02:15.670 --> 00:02:17.799
how are you power your swing so speed
00:02:17.799 --> 00:02:20.440
training all that stuff the second piece
00:02:20.440 --> 00:02:24.579
would be looking at controlling the path
00:02:24.579 --> 00:02:28.030
and the path can include the horizontal
00:02:28.030 --> 00:02:30.250
swing direction so the direction that
00:02:30.250 --> 00:02:32.500
the swing plane or path is pointing as
00:02:32.500 --> 00:02:35.650
well as low point control if you have a
00:02:35.650 --> 00:02:37.690
good path you will make solid contact if
00:02:37.690 --> 00:02:39.639
you don't have a good path you will not
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:42.850
make good solid contact and then the
00:02:42.850 --> 00:02:44.889
last scale is working on clubface
00:02:44.889 --> 00:02:51.069
control so working on working on how you
00:02:51.069 --> 00:02:55.030
orient the clubface compared to the path
00:02:55.030 --> 00:02:57.819
so if your ball has a lot of curve to it
00:02:57.819 --> 00:03:00.459
then the club face is pointing in the
00:03:00.459 --> 00:03:02.410
direction of the curve compared to the
00:03:02.410 --> 00:03:05.170
path and so once you figure out which of
00:03:05.170 --> 00:03:06.910
those skills you really want to work on
00:03:06.910 --> 00:03:10.389
then you can use a training aid to help
00:03:10.389 --> 00:03:14.380
you correct that specific issue but
00:03:14.380 --> 00:03:16.090
don't just buy a training aid and use it
00:03:16.090 --> 00:03:18.010
just because it's the latest greatest
00:03:18.010 --> 00:03:19.959
thing make sure it's gonna solve your
00:03:19.959 --> 00:03:24.519
specific problems so I've got a list
00:03:24.519 --> 00:03:26.889
here of training aids that most of you
00:03:26.889 --> 00:03:31.840
sent in beforehand if you if you have
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:34.050
any questions or any other
00:03:34.050 --> 00:03:36.840
specific training AIDS go ahead and
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:38.850
shoot them in the text I'll check that
00:03:38.850 --> 00:03:43.970
periodically by far the the most common
00:03:43.970 --> 00:03:48.210
so I tell you about 50% of the emails I
00:03:48.210 --> 00:03:50.520
got included what do you think of the
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.910
orange whip so if we filter back to
00:03:53.910 --> 00:03:55.980
thinking about are we working on path
00:03:55.980 --> 00:03:58.380
are we working on face are we working on
00:03:58.380 --> 00:04:01.080
speed the orange whip is really good at
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.240
working on sequencing there's a couple
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:05.880
guys in the 3d space who have done a
00:04:05.880 --> 00:04:07.560
fair amount of research and shown that
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:10.650
in general kinematic sequences get
00:04:10.650 --> 00:04:12.390
better when you're swinging the orange
00:04:12.390 --> 00:04:15.360
whip you'll also notice that it tends to
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.120
improve the swing path so if you're
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.160
trying to figure out what it feels like
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:23.820
to swing from the inside orange whip is
00:04:23.820 --> 00:04:27.240
a great way to get that feeling now the
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:30.900
problem is it doesn't work on the two
00:04:30.900 --> 00:04:33.000
other key skills so it doesn't work on
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.400
low point control in fact in many cases
00:04:35.400 --> 00:04:38.820
it will cause your low point control to
00:04:38.820 --> 00:04:40.770
move backward and get behind the golf
00:04:40.770 --> 00:04:43.860
ball so if you struggle with low point
00:04:43.860 --> 00:04:47.810
control then this training aid can often
00:04:47.810 --> 00:04:50.490
make it worse especially if you use it
00:04:50.490 --> 00:04:53.310
as a daily warmup the other thing that
00:04:53.310 --> 00:04:55.350
it doesn't work on is it doesn't work on
00:04:55.350 --> 00:04:59.100
club clubface control so it it doesn't
00:04:59.100 --> 00:05:02.280
really help you learn to rotate the
00:05:02.280 --> 00:05:04.170
forearms and orient the face you can get
00:05:04.170 --> 00:05:06.360
away with kind of a scoop flip because
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:08.340
you're not really making contact with
00:05:08.340 --> 00:05:12.900
the ground so again while missing those
00:05:12.900 --> 00:05:16.980
two skills it can make a lumber of swing
00:05:16.980 --> 00:05:20.130
patterns hit the ball worse it can cause
00:05:20.130 --> 00:05:22.980
you to hit it on the it can cause you to
00:05:22.980 --> 00:05:24.600
hit it fat it can cause you to hit it on
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:28.020
the toe it can mess up contact so if
00:05:28.020 --> 00:05:30.600
you're already pretty good at moving low
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.030
point around like you you do some of the
00:05:33.030 --> 00:05:34.860
playing with low point drill where you
00:05:34.860 --> 00:05:37.770
work on hitting low point behind the
00:05:37.770 --> 00:05:39.150
ball low point even with the ball low
00:05:39.150 --> 00:05:40.530
point in front and you work on that
00:05:40.530 --> 00:05:43.950
spectrum then you shouldn't be worried
00:05:43.950 --> 00:05:46.110
about doing a skill that's gonna improve
00:05:46.110 --> 00:05:47.160
your sequencing
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:49.890
improve your speed because you'll know
00:05:49.890 --> 00:05:51.600
how to move the low point back forward
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:53.940
but if you're not very good at that low
00:05:53.940 --> 00:05:57.180
point control drill then I would say
00:05:57.180 --> 00:05:59.630
that the orange whip is at best case
00:05:59.630 --> 00:06:01.860
kind of we'll give it a yellow flag
00:06:01.860 --> 00:06:04.440
right it's it's risky because it codes
00:06:04.440 --> 00:06:06.150
cause you to hit a lot of fat and thin
00:06:06.150 --> 00:06:08.280
shots by moving the low point backward
00:06:08.280 --> 00:06:09.780
by getting your path coming a little bit
00:06:09.780 --> 00:06:14.160
more from the inside the the second
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.500
training aid that I had the greatest
00:06:16.500 --> 00:06:18.150
number of questions about is the super
00:06:18.150 --> 00:06:20.030
speed system right because this is the
00:06:20.030 --> 00:06:22.140
offseason everybody wants to hit the
00:06:22.140 --> 00:06:25.920
ball further so the super speed system
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.790
on paper makes a lot of sense and it it
00:06:29.790 --> 00:06:32.670
has the probably the same advant
00:06:32.670 --> 00:06:35.310
advantage and challenges as the orange
00:06:35.310 --> 00:06:37.710
whip so it really helps with sequencing
00:06:37.710 --> 00:06:40.680
it really helps with improving your path
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:43.890
because it's harder to swing something
00:06:43.890 --> 00:06:47.850
off path as fast as you can when it's on
00:06:47.850 --> 00:06:52.110
plane and as a result typically when you
00:06:52.110 --> 00:06:53.550
don't have a clubface you're not worried
00:06:53.550 --> 00:06:54.750
about low point control you get a
00:06:54.750 --> 00:06:55.950
lighter object and you're just trying to
00:06:55.950 --> 00:06:58.110
swing it fast your path is going to
00:06:58.110 --> 00:07:01.320
improve the problem is then again if you
00:07:01.320 --> 00:07:03.510
don't have the skills to be able to
00:07:03.510 --> 00:07:07.140
control the face so that it works with a
00:07:07.140 --> 00:07:09.360
more neutral path and you don't have the
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:11.460
skills to be able to move the low point
00:07:11.460 --> 00:07:13.919
back forward then it can become a
00:07:13.919 --> 00:07:16.530
problem so I've seen a number of golfers
00:07:16.530 --> 00:07:18.990
who struggle with having the clubface
00:07:18.990 --> 00:07:22.860
more open and closing late and those
00:07:22.860 --> 00:07:25.200
golfers when they use things like super
00:07:25.200 --> 00:07:28.050
speed or to a lesser extent orange whip
00:07:28.050 --> 00:07:31.470
it can cause them to either hit shanks
00:07:31.470 --> 00:07:35.430
or really thin shots like and cause them
00:07:35.430 --> 00:07:37.220
to leave it off to the right because
00:07:37.220 --> 00:07:41.000
better sequencing and better timing
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.560
creates more shaft lean creates more leg
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:45.540
and that opens the face so if you
00:07:45.540 --> 00:07:47.220
already struggle with an open faced
00:07:47.220 --> 00:07:49.620
orientation and then you you kind of
00:07:49.620 --> 00:07:51.210
flip it down to the bottom in order to
00:07:51.210 --> 00:07:55.130
close it then those training aids I
00:07:55.130 --> 00:07:57.419
would say you you want to work on the
00:07:57.419 --> 00:07:59.580
clubface control first before you start
00:07:59.580 --> 00:08:00.380
working
00:08:00.380 --> 00:08:03.290
really dialing in and improving that
00:08:03.290 --> 00:08:09.170
path so that kind of brings us into some
00:08:09.170 --> 00:08:14.080
of the next genre and I one question on
00:08:14.080 --> 00:08:17.060
training the flat left wrist right
00:08:17.060 --> 00:08:18.770
there's a number of training aids out
00:08:18.770 --> 00:08:23.360
there whether it's the blue the blue
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:28.240
strike or the what's Martin Chuck's the
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:32.240
educator the coat hanger like there's a
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.400
lot of things that help you keep that
00:08:34.400 --> 00:08:37.910
left wrist flat and those can be really
00:08:37.910 --> 00:08:41.599
useful for 9:00 to 3:00 training there's
00:08:41.599 --> 00:08:43.400
gonna be really useful for working on
00:08:43.400 --> 00:08:46.280
the arm mechanic so basically working on
00:08:46.280 --> 00:08:51.070
a really good arm and hand release now
00:08:51.070 --> 00:08:54.380
the question was basically with those
00:08:54.380 --> 00:08:57.920
devices when we're looking at that left
00:08:57.920 --> 00:09:01.100
wrist staying flat what happens then
00:09:01.100 --> 00:09:02.210
when you go to a full swing because
00:09:02.210 --> 00:09:03.740
obviously in the full swing at some
00:09:03.740 --> 00:09:06.650
point that wrist starts to lose flexion
00:09:06.650 --> 00:09:10.010
and move towards extension so is it
00:09:10.010 --> 00:09:12.650
worthwhile to train the nine to threes
00:09:12.650 --> 00:09:15.500
and keep it more in flexion or are you
00:09:15.500 --> 00:09:18.440
setting yourself for a bad pattern what
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:21.890
I have typically found is that yes doing
00:09:21.890 --> 00:09:25.190
nine threes with those type of training
00:09:25.190 --> 00:09:28.220
aids can be really helpful because what
00:09:28.220 --> 00:09:30.440
should pull the left wrist out of
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:33.650
flexion and into extension is more the
00:09:33.650 --> 00:09:35.750
speed and the movement of the left
00:09:35.750 --> 00:09:40.190
shoulder so essentially this space here
00:09:40.190 --> 00:09:43.370
so down at the bottom of the swing let's
00:09:43.370 --> 00:09:45.620
say I've got a little bit of flexion in
00:09:45.620 --> 00:09:48.140
my wrist like this well the club is
00:09:48.140 --> 00:09:50.390
going to be pulling that way and as my
00:09:50.390 --> 00:09:52.790
body is rotating aside bending that left
00:09:52.790 --> 00:09:55.010
shoulder is going to be pulling back up
00:09:55.010 --> 00:09:56.960
away from the golf ball that way so I've
00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:58.970
got one thing pulling that way one thing
00:09:58.970 --> 00:09:59.390
pulling
00:09:59.390 --> 00:10:01.970
whay everything in the in between those
00:10:01.970 --> 00:10:03.890
points is going to want to move towards
00:10:03.890 --> 00:10:06.080
neutral and basically reach a straight
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:09.320
line between them so what takes it out
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:12.740
of flexion is more good bracing and good
00:10:12.740 --> 00:10:14.810
body speed so if you're doing little
00:10:14.810 --> 00:10:18.710
nine to three shots it can be really
00:10:18.710 --> 00:10:21.740
helpful to train keeping that left wrist
00:10:21.740 --> 00:10:24.950
flat all the way through a nine to three
00:10:24.950 --> 00:10:27.170
or a short you know waist height swing
00:10:27.170 --> 00:10:31.520
the what I typically find is golfers who
00:10:31.520 --> 00:10:33.260
struggle with having that left wrist
00:10:33.260 --> 00:10:35.180
flat and having more of a scoop are
00:10:35.180 --> 00:10:37.790
trying to absorb the force this way
00:10:37.790 --> 00:10:40.190
instead of absorbing the force with a
00:10:40.190 --> 00:10:44.360
little bit more natural supination so
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:46.220
basically allowing the club to rotate
00:10:46.220 --> 00:10:49.160
but when the club is passing they all
00:10:49.160 --> 00:10:51.470
fall in passing your body you're going
00:10:51.470 --> 00:10:53.510
to have to absorb the force one way or
00:10:53.510 --> 00:10:56.300
the other so if you're struggling with
00:10:56.300 --> 00:10:57.800
having more of a scoop where the handle
00:10:57.800 --> 00:11:02.480
is getting back then doing swings that
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:04.310
force the wrist to stay flexed and
00:11:04.310 --> 00:11:07.190
learning to absorb it more with that
00:11:07.190 --> 00:11:10.370
rotation helps build the skill that will
00:11:10.370 --> 00:11:13.100
make it easier to get the shaft lean you
00:11:13.100 --> 00:11:15.790
want when you start taking full swings
00:11:15.790 --> 00:11:19.700
so I am a fan of things that help
00:11:19.700 --> 00:11:21.770
promote the flat left wrist and things
00:11:21.770 --> 00:11:25.160
that promote shaft lean I just don't
00:11:25.160 --> 00:11:28.580
like to do really big full swings with
00:11:28.580 --> 00:11:31.880
them because in order to do it correctly
00:11:31.880 --> 00:11:34.130
or in order to use the training aid the
00:11:34.130 --> 00:11:36.890
way it looks like it's design you'd have
00:11:36.890 --> 00:11:41.660
to effectively use your body in a poor
00:11:41.660 --> 00:11:43.310
way you wouldn't be able to pivot quite
00:11:43.310 --> 00:11:47.300
as well okay so then I've got a few
00:11:47.300 --> 00:11:49.070
other trainings that we'll go through
00:11:49.070 --> 00:11:51.710
before I get in a few the questions
00:11:51.710 --> 00:11:54.710
related to them so we've got the the
00:11:54.710 --> 00:11:58.100
impact snap which I actually I I think
00:11:58.100 --> 00:12:03.110
is a pretty smart training device I have
00:12:03.110 --> 00:12:05.740
a drill on the site where I work on
00:12:05.740 --> 00:12:09.070
ulnar deviation and ulnar deviation is
00:12:09.070 --> 00:12:11.620
of the key movements of the left wrist
00:12:11.620 --> 00:12:14.410
going like this that essentially creates
00:12:14.410 --> 00:12:16.570
within the follow-through so when it
00:12:16.570 --> 00:12:18.820
starts reimaging it will tend to have a
00:12:18.820 --> 00:12:22.899
look more like this and if you work on
00:12:22.899 --> 00:12:25.089
that left wrist getting into only
00:12:25.089 --> 00:12:26.949
deviation it will tend to have a look
00:12:26.949 --> 00:12:27.790
coming through
00:12:27.790 --> 00:12:31.360
more like that so you can as a cheap
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:32.769
version one of the drills I have on the
00:12:32.769 --> 00:12:35.800
site is working on getting that let the
00:12:35.800 --> 00:12:39.670
grip more in line with the forearm later
00:12:39.670 --> 00:12:44.589
and later but Calvin miyahara has a
00:12:44.589 --> 00:12:46.269
training device called the impact snap
00:12:46.269 --> 00:12:49.300
where basically it forces you to get
00:12:49.300 --> 00:12:53.079
into that impact position now the only
00:12:53.079 --> 00:12:55.120
thing that I don't like about it is
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:57.730
there's a there's a ball bearing in it
00:12:57.730 --> 00:13:00.899
used for timing and in order to get that
00:13:00.899 --> 00:13:04.240
timing or get the ball bearing to snap
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:05.769
on the other side of the golf ball
00:13:05.769 --> 00:13:08.380
you really have to hold off the only
00:13:08.380 --> 00:13:11.949
deviation for an exaggerated period of
00:13:11.949 --> 00:13:14.769
time at least compared to what I see on
00:13:14.769 --> 00:13:19.089
3d and what I see in in practice I'm a
00:13:19.089 --> 00:13:22.060
bigger fan of trying to get that ulnar
00:13:22.060 --> 00:13:25.839
deviation to happen earlier because if
00:13:25.839 --> 00:13:27.610
you get that ulnar deviation happening
00:13:27.610 --> 00:13:30.490
earlier and more gradual it tends to
00:13:30.490 --> 00:13:33.510
promote body rotation on the way through
00:13:33.510 --> 00:13:35.800
and body rotation on the way through
00:13:35.800 --> 00:13:40.300
tends to help promote the increase arc
00:13:40.300 --> 00:13:41.980
with or the wide point getting on the
00:13:41.980 --> 00:13:43.779
other side of the golf ball which helps
00:13:43.779 --> 00:13:45.339
with your flat spot and overall
00:13:45.339 --> 00:13:48.970
consistency so I am a big fan of the
00:13:48.970 --> 00:13:53.050
impact snap I think just doing the the
00:13:53.050 --> 00:13:54.579
perfect place to do that type of
00:13:54.579 --> 00:13:56.920
training is whenever you're just hanging
00:13:56.920 --> 00:13:59.230
out watching TV all of a lot of my
00:13:59.230 --> 00:14:01.600
students you know grab either a sharpie
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:04.959
or a TV remote and work on wrist
00:14:04.959 --> 00:14:06.880
mechanics just just kind of putting in
00:14:06.880 --> 00:14:09.100
reps so the brain and the body is more
00:14:09.100 --> 00:14:10.810
and more comfortable with those
00:14:10.810 --> 00:14:14.139
movements similar to you know the karate
00:14:14.139 --> 00:14:16.180
kid' doing all the wax on stuff just to
00:14:16.180 --> 00:14:18.149
train the muscle patterns so that then
00:14:18.149 --> 00:14:20.279
when you get
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:23.910
the range it's easier to recall that
00:14:23.910 --> 00:14:26.249
pattern and build it into a more usable
00:14:26.249 --> 00:14:30.120
skill so impact Snap is definitely one
00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:32.040
of those good training devices that you
00:14:32.040 --> 00:14:35.610
can use to to train the wrist release
00:14:35.610 --> 00:14:37.439
just be careful with the timing because
00:14:37.439 --> 00:14:42.180
the timing can be counterproductive the
00:14:42.180 --> 00:14:43.829
swing guide I had a question about that
00:14:43.829 --> 00:14:47.040
it's one of the most one it was one of
00:14:47.040 --> 00:14:49.079
the most popular training devices out
00:14:49.079 --> 00:14:51.959
there for a long period of time it can
00:14:51.959 --> 00:14:54.180
be useful if you don't use it the way
00:14:54.180 --> 00:14:56.790
that they recommend you use it on the on
00:14:56.790 --> 00:14:59.579
the box so on the box they basically
00:14:59.579 --> 00:15:01.980
want you to hinge your wrist so that it
00:15:01.980 --> 00:15:03.809
sits up against your forearm just like
00:15:03.809 --> 00:15:06.329
so the problem is when you hinge your
00:15:06.329 --> 00:15:08.370
wrist like that you'll tend to create
00:15:08.370 --> 00:15:10.230
some extension which is going to tend to
00:15:10.230 --> 00:15:12.389
open the clubface and if you keep that
00:15:12.389 --> 00:15:14.519
clubface open long into the downswing
00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:17.939
then that would create an excessively
00:15:17.939 --> 00:15:19.740
steep path from the arms so you'll
00:15:19.740 --> 00:15:22.410
shallow at your body the most common
00:15:22.410 --> 00:15:24.420
ways to shallow out the body would be to
00:15:24.420 --> 00:15:26.639
delay the rotation and go into a bit of
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:28.740
it though the extension so it it really
00:15:28.740 --> 00:15:31.430
can promote more of this kind of
00:15:31.430 --> 00:15:35.250
extension stall pattern and then rapid
00:15:35.250 --> 00:15:37.920
flip down to the bottom but what you can
00:15:37.920 --> 00:15:42.000
do is if you set it up the way that
00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:43.709
you're supposed to but then you make
00:15:43.709 --> 00:15:45.360
sure instead of it hitting your forearm
00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:47.730
that it stays on the outside of your
00:15:47.730 --> 00:15:49.829
forearm so basically you're gonna make
00:15:49.829 --> 00:15:52.920
sure that it is outside of the body here
00:15:52.920 --> 00:15:54.660
all right so it's basically connected
00:15:54.660 --> 00:15:57.420
from here to there and that will help
00:15:57.420 --> 00:16:02.819
encourage the flexion especially on the
00:16:02.819 --> 00:16:04.860
way through so when you go into that
00:16:04.860 --> 00:16:07.740
release or the follow-through side
00:16:07.740 --> 00:16:10.589
making sure that the swing guide is on
00:16:10.589 --> 00:16:12.360
the outside of the forearm
00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:15.529
instead of hitting it right on top the
00:16:15.529 --> 00:16:19.660
radial deviation or hinging the wrist is
00:16:19.660 --> 00:16:22.240
one of the one of the movements that
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:24.190
many amateur golfers tend to struggle
00:16:24.190 --> 00:16:27.430
with when you hinge your wrist
00:16:27.430 --> 00:16:30.490
especially on the way through that tends
00:16:30.490 --> 00:16:32.380
to close the club face it's effectively
00:16:32.380 --> 00:16:35.260
like having the ball up above your feet
00:16:35.260 --> 00:16:37.210
and you can see that that club would be
00:16:37.210 --> 00:16:39.880
pointing ways to the left so many
00:16:39.880 --> 00:16:42.880
golfers amateur golfers anyway use that
00:16:42.880 --> 00:16:45.070
kind of riehen geing down at the bottom
00:16:45.070 --> 00:16:47.380
to help close the club face and when
00:16:47.380 --> 00:16:49.000
they first start working on a better
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:51.280
release they hit it out to the right
00:16:51.280 --> 00:16:54.970
because they instead of getting the
00:16:54.970 --> 00:16:56.530
shaft rotation they close the club face
00:16:56.530 --> 00:17:00.220
they're doing it with that range so the
00:17:00.220 --> 00:17:02.890
training devices that emphasize holding
00:17:02.890 --> 00:17:06.189
that hinge longer can indirectly cause
00:17:06.189 --> 00:17:08.439
you to have more of a scoop or more of a
00:17:08.439 --> 00:17:11.110
roll pattern down at the bottom so
00:17:11.110 --> 00:17:12.819
that's something that you have to be
00:17:12.819 --> 00:17:15.730
careful of if you struggle with clubface
00:17:15.730 --> 00:17:18.189
control and you use more of that roll as
00:17:18.189 --> 00:17:20.050
one of your primary ways for squaring
00:17:20.050 --> 00:17:23.709
the face there's some other devices that
00:17:23.709 --> 00:17:27.370
work on kind of connections so you've
00:17:27.370 --> 00:17:30.490
got like the swing shirt where you it
00:17:30.490 --> 00:17:32.890
basically forces your arms to stay close
00:17:32.890 --> 00:17:35.100
together you've got things like the
00:17:35.100 --> 00:17:39.670
impact ball you've got you know I used
00:17:39.670 --> 00:17:42.370
just a car wash sponge but things that
00:17:42.370 --> 00:17:46.840
keep your arms close together generally
00:17:46.840 --> 00:17:48.820
work on path training and generally work
00:17:48.820 --> 00:17:53.200
on sequencing so many golfers struggle
00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:55.660
with getting a lot of arm pole to create
00:17:55.660 --> 00:17:58.930
their speed or they tend to swing the
00:17:58.930 --> 00:18:00.520
club backward mostly using their
00:18:00.520 --> 00:18:02.890
shoulders instead of using their spine
00:18:02.890 --> 00:18:08.140
so I've said before that virtually every
00:18:08.140 --> 00:18:11.010
swing tip related to the backswing is
00:18:11.010 --> 00:18:13.510
just trying to get you to use your body
00:18:13.510 --> 00:18:16.360
instead of your arms to bring the club
00:18:16.360 --> 00:18:19.150
back or to keep the clubface from
00:18:19.150 --> 00:18:23.080
opening up too much so all the low and
00:18:23.080 --> 00:18:25.390
slow and one-piece takeaway and things
00:18:25.390 --> 00:18:28.300
like the shirt and the impact ball that
00:18:28.300 --> 00:18:30.480
just forces you to route
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:33.179
your body in the backswing as opposed to
00:18:33.179 --> 00:18:36.120
just moving your arms when you just move
00:18:36.120 --> 00:18:38.130
your arms that then becomes harder to
00:18:38.130 --> 00:18:42.210
have really good sequencing in
00:18:42.210 --> 00:18:44.600
transition so I put those in more of a
00:18:44.600 --> 00:18:48.990
how we create speed category now I've
00:18:48.990 --> 00:18:52.470
got a video on the the impact wall and
00:18:52.470 --> 00:18:55.350
why I prefer like softer sponges and
00:18:55.350 --> 00:18:57.240
things like that
00:18:57.240 --> 00:18:59.250
is because in the follow-through those
00:18:59.250 --> 00:19:00.780
arms should be getting closer together
00:19:00.780 --> 00:19:03.780
so if you have a device that's too firm
00:19:03.780 --> 00:19:07.040
in between your forearms it will tend to
00:19:07.040 --> 00:19:09.480
prevent you from getting that trail arm
00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:11.970
to fully straighten or it will tend to
00:19:11.970 --> 00:19:14.880
cause your upper body to lunge too far
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:17.340
forward in order to get the club to
00:19:17.340 --> 00:19:20.160
swing on a good path without letting
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:22.610
those arms get closer together so
00:19:22.610 --> 00:19:26.970
there's a lot of training aids that seem
00:19:26.970 --> 00:19:29.280
like a good idea on paper and ultimately
00:19:29.280 --> 00:19:32.190
help you with one specific aspect but if
00:19:32.190 --> 00:19:33.630
you take it all the way through the
00:19:33.630 --> 00:19:36.450
whole swing it messes up another area
00:19:36.450 --> 00:19:37.830
and that's one of the cases where the
00:19:37.830 --> 00:19:39.000
impact ball helps you with your
00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:41.360
backswing and helps you with your
00:19:41.360 --> 00:19:45.270
transition but it can be a problem for
00:19:45.270 --> 00:19:48.929
the release which many golfers struggle
00:19:48.929 --> 00:19:51.360
with so I'm not a huge fan of that one I
00:19:51.360 --> 00:19:53.130
would prefer using something softer like
00:19:53.130 --> 00:19:57.419
a sponge I'll see a couple questions
00:19:57.419 --> 00:20:00.750
coming in Martin Chuck's five and seven
00:20:00.750 --> 00:20:03.900
irons of pee with the no leading wedge
00:20:03.900 --> 00:20:05.970
do you mean the Tour striker um the
00:20:05.970 --> 00:20:09.419
problem with the Tour striker is so if
00:20:09.419 --> 00:20:10.650
you haven't seen it the Tour striker
00:20:10.650 --> 00:20:12.990
instead of the golfer or the golf club
00:20:12.990 --> 00:20:15.480
being like this the leading edge is
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:17.370
basically up here and then it has a
00:20:17.370 --> 00:20:20.070
curved bottom so in theory its design is
00:20:20.070 --> 00:20:21.870
to get you to excessively lean the
00:20:21.870 --> 00:20:25.590
chef's now the problem is it has so much
00:20:25.590 --> 00:20:26.160
bounce
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:30.540
they used the sole is fairly round that
00:20:30.540 --> 00:20:33.360
you can actually scoop it well enough to
00:20:33.360 --> 00:20:35.460
get the ball in the air even if you
00:20:35.460 --> 00:20:39.299
don't use it properly so I haven't seen
00:20:39.299 --> 00:20:41.240
a huge carryover from
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:45.560
those devices I like Martin's other
00:20:45.560 --> 00:20:48.960
training aid the educator a whole lot
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:49.410
better
00:20:49.410 --> 00:20:53.070
so I'm I'd give kind of a caution I
00:20:53.070 --> 00:20:54.620
think there's better stuff to then
00:20:54.620 --> 00:20:59.340
Martin Chuck's tour striker in fact that
00:20:59.340 --> 00:21:00.570
brings one of the questions was about
00:21:00.570 --> 00:21:04.890
the DST compressor so the the DST
00:21:04.890 --> 00:21:08.150
compressor if you haven't seen it is a
00:21:08.150 --> 00:21:11.220
curved shaft so instead of the club
00:21:11.220 --> 00:21:13.170
going straight it kind of curves like
00:21:13.170 --> 00:21:17.520
this so essentially it forces it forces
00:21:17.520 --> 00:21:19.380
you to get your hands ahead which is one
00:21:19.380 --> 00:21:22.080
of the things that most amateur golfers
00:21:22.080 --> 00:21:24.060
struggle with so it just gives you the
00:21:24.060 --> 00:21:26.330
experience of when your hands are ahead
00:21:26.330 --> 00:21:28.970
how would you have the clubface square
00:21:28.970 --> 00:21:36.780
and it it definitely it definitely helps
00:21:36.780 --> 00:21:38.820
with shallowing the club if you have
00:21:38.820 --> 00:21:40.800
more of an early arm action if you have
00:21:40.800 --> 00:21:43.110
more of kind of a cast pattern you'll
00:21:43.110 --> 00:21:46.020
hit the ball just terribly the thing
00:21:46.020 --> 00:21:47.580
that it doesn't really help with is it
00:21:47.580 --> 00:21:50.490
doesn't really help prevent a flip so if
00:21:50.490 --> 00:21:53.580
your main struggle is more of clubface
00:21:53.580 --> 00:21:58.500
control with a flip then mmm I think
00:21:58.500 --> 00:22:00.390
they're better training aids but if your
00:22:00.390 --> 00:22:03.090
main goal is getting used to the hands
00:22:03.090 --> 00:22:06.030
forward or shallowing in the transition
00:22:06.030 --> 00:22:08.130
I think it's a I think it's a pretty
00:22:08.130 --> 00:22:09.540
good one I've got a fair number of
00:22:09.540 --> 00:22:12.990
students who like it I would use it
00:22:12.990 --> 00:22:15.810
sparingly so I'd use it as just kind of
00:22:15.810 --> 00:22:18.120
like the first five or ten minutes of a
00:22:18.120 --> 00:22:21.330
warm-up session or of your warm-up
00:22:21.330 --> 00:22:22.680
before getting into some mechanic
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:27.800
mechanical practice but I wouldn't I
00:22:27.800 --> 00:22:30.690
wouldn't overdo it with that the because
00:22:30.690 --> 00:22:32.700
it doesn't I think it can actually
00:22:32.700 --> 00:22:35.130
encourage a little bit of a flip but I
00:22:35.130 --> 00:22:37.290
don't have enough data points on that
00:22:37.290 --> 00:22:42.470
one to to say 100% I see a couple uh a
00:22:42.470 --> 00:22:47.430
couple questions coming in Sharon's
00:22:47.430 --> 00:22:49.500
asking about the sure set I'm actually
00:22:49.500 --> 00:22:53.420
not quite sure about the sure set
00:22:53.420 --> 00:22:59.640
what if you can post the link of the
00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:01.320
short set and I'll I'll click on it real
00:23:01.320 --> 00:23:02.640
quick and check it out
00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:05.490
George is asking about boards and
00:23:05.490 --> 00:23:07.650
plastic to place behind the ball to
00:23:07.650 --> 00:23:09.570
promote divot in front of all yeah when
00:23:09.570 --> 00:23:12.120
you're practicing indoors or when you're
00:23:12.120 --> 00:23:14.370
practicing in the winter low point
00:23:14.370 --> 00:23:17.370
control often is more challenging to pay
00:23:17.370 --> 00:23:18.510
attention to when you're training on a
00:23:18.510 --> 00:23:21.720
mat right so there are things like the
00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:25.080
fat plate there are you know you can
00:23:25.080 --> 00:23:28.500
take a credit old credit card or room
00:23:28.500 --> 00:23:30.060
key and place it behind the golf ball
00:23:30.060 --> 00:23:32.280
you can place a towel those things can
00:23:32.280 --> 00:23:34.350
help you be more aware of low point
00:23:34.350 --> 00:23:38.550
control when because the mat there you
00:23:38.550 --> 00:23:41.190
can YouTube high-speed video of hitting
00:23:41.190 --> 00:23:43.950
it fat on a mat and you'll see that if
00:23:43.950 --> 00:23:45.570
you hit behind the ball the ball will
00:23:45.570 --> 00:23:47.400
pop up and you'll hit it right in the
00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:49.320
middle of the club you'll feel like
00:23:49.320 --> 00:23:50.940
you've hit a good shot but if you had
00:23:50.940 --> 00:23:52.320
done that off grass it would have been a
00:23:52.320 --> 00:23:56.610
poor shot so I do like having some type
00:23:56.610 --> 00:23:58.440
of feedback if you're working on low
00:23:58.440 --> 00:24:01.830
point control so you'll see I'm always
00:24:01.830 --> 00:24:03.300
going to come back to what skill are you
00:24:03.300 --> 00:24:07.800
trying to Train and low point control is
00:24:07.800 --> 00:24:09.420
one of the most important factors when
00:24:09.420 --> 00:24:11.130
it comes to making solid contact with
00:24:11.130 --> 00:24:14.790
the irons and solid contact good iron
00:24:14.790 --> 00:24:16.860
play is one of the fastest ways to lower
00:24:16.860 --> 00:24:20.850
your scores so I would say that having
00:24:20.850 --> 00:24:23.180
something when you're practicing to just
00:24:23.180 --> 00:24:25.290
make sure that you don't get too sloppy
00:24:25.290 --> 00:24:27.120
with your low point control is a really
00:24:27.120 --> 00:24:31.860
good idea Chris is asking if you have to
00:24:31.860 --> 00:24:33.450
consolidate the training ideas can you
00:24:33.450 --> 00:24:35.490
pick three or four training aids which
00:24:35.490 --> 00:24:38.760
would be great for members of the gym to
00:24:38.760 --> 00:24:42.020
the work and practice members who come
00:24:42.020 --> 00:24:45.060
just and swing the orange whip in golf
00:24:45.060 --> 00:24:47.300
club it would be great to hear your
00:24:47.300 --> 00:24:51.420
recommendations for a gym with with 1200
00:24:51.420 --> 00:24:53.340
members top three the ones you talked
00:24:53.340 --> 00:24:56.970
about here so I do like I would get a
00:24:56.970 --> 00:24:59.760
few of the the impact snap you know it's
00:24:59.760 --> 00:25:03.389
not really a I wouldn't say that it's a
00:25:03.389 --> 00:25:05.519
you know a big workout but you could if
00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:06.959
you're doing golf fitness you could
00:25:06.959 --> 00:25:09.719
throw it into part of your cooldown it
00:25:09.719 --> 00:25:11.669
would just really help or in between
00:25:11.669 --> 00:25:13.859
sets or things like that almost like an
00:25:13.859 --> 00:25:19.139
active recovery period I do like the the
00:25:19.139 --> 00:25:22.109
orange whip or the SuperSpeed they're
00:25:22.109 --> 00:25:23.789
slightly different I think the orange
00:25:23.789 --> 00:25:26.820
whip is a little bit more Universal
00:25:26.820 --> 00:25:30.929
super speed you have to be a little
00:25:30.929 --> 00:25:33.599
careful just because you will reinforce
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:36.690
whatever your powder power program is so
00:25:36.690 --> 00:25:38.849
if you are more of an armed pool you
00:25:38.849 --> 00:25:41.429
will typically strengthen your arm pull
00:25:41.429 --> 00:25:43.440
pattern if you are more of like an early
00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:46.289
extender jumper you will reinforce your
00:25:46.289 --> 00:25:48.269
early ascender jumper pattern so you
00:25:48.269 --> 00:25:50.009
want to be careful with that where the
00:25:50.009 --> 00:25:53.009
orange whip I tend to find improves and
00:25:53.009 --> 00:25:55.649
balances kind of whether you're swinging
00:25:55.649 --> 00:25:57.149
more from your legs or more from your
00:25:57.149 --> 00:25:59.999
core and more from your upper body I do
00:25:59.999 --> 00:26:05.940
like the the DST compressor and I use an
00:26:05.940 --> 00:26:08.369
impact bag a lot but I don't use it
00:26:08.369 --> 00:26:10.649
though again the way that it's described
00:26:10.649 --> 00:26:12.479
on the package like I don't use it to
00:26:12.479 --> 00:26:15.809
just swing and hit it as if you were
00:26:15.809 --> 00:26:18.299
hitting a golf ball I'll put it at
00:26:18.299 --> 00:26:21.299
specific times to almost stop you mid
00:26:21.299 --> 00:26:23.669
movement so that you can see where you
00:26:23.669 --> 00:26:26.039
are and what you're doing so if I had to
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:28.619
pick three those would probably be three
00:26:28.619 --> 00:26:33.959
that I've been working on Golden Gate is
00:26:33.959 --> 00:26:35.849
asking if you have any time do you have
00:26:35.849 --> 00:26:37.859
any PGA Tour data on the amount or
00:26:37.859 --> 00:26:40.529
degrees of hing down on a 5-iron
00:26:40.529 --> 00:26:43.349
some say sweep but some hit down
00:26:43.349 --> 00:26:49.619
slightly Oh before I jump to that I see
00:26:49.619 --> 00:26:52.409
Jim saying asking about the orange whip
00:26:52.409 --> 00:26:55.169
wedge Stanley likes it handily endorsed
00:26:55.169 --> 00:26:57.989
it and created it I do have one and I
00:26:57.989 --> 00:27:01.369
think it's really smart now here's the I
00:27:01.369 --> 00:27:03.989
know two different golf instructors who
00:27:03.989 --> 00:27:06.329
were both very highly respected for
00:27:06.329 --> 00:27:08.279
their short game teaching and they use
00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:11.819
it totally differently they both use the
00:27:11.819 --> 00:27:14.279
product one tries to
00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:16.200
load it and unloaded as fast as they can
00:27:16.200 --> 00:27:17.940
and the other one tries to swing it with
00:27:17.940 --> 00:27:20.429
very little loading but I think that it
00:27:20.429 --> 00:27:23.609
helps with feeling the clubhead and with
00:27:23.609 --> 00:27:25.739
a little bit more of a cast style
00:27:25.739 --> 00:27:28.559
sequence so whether you do it
00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:30.899
aggressively or or a little bit more
00:27:30.899 --> 00:27:33.479
passively I still think it it's very
00:27:33.479 --> 00:27:36.659
helpful for communicating waiting at the
00:27:36.659 --> 00:27:38.909
top of the swing instead of a really big
00:27:38.909 --> 00:27:41.070
pole and many golfers who struggle with
00:27:41.070 --> 00:27:43.710
like the chip hips or hitting him really
00:27:43.710 --> 00:27:47.159
fat you know really bad miss patterns
00:27:47.159 --> 00:27:49.200
pull too hard on the on the grip in
00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:50.999
order to try to move it forward and they
00:27:50.999 --> 00:27:53.309
do really well with the orange which
00:27:53.309 --> 00:27:58.649
orange whip wedge sorry so PGA Tour data
00:27:58.649 --> 00:28:00.359
on the amount of degrees of came down on
00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:04.729
a 5-iron its problem I I don't have
00:28:04.729 --> 00:28:07.369
extensive data on that I could probably
00:28:07.369 --> 00:28:09.960
talk to some of my buddies and find it
00:28:09.960 --> 00:28:12.059
all the time my head I'm gonna say
00:28:12.059 --> 00:28:14.190
somewhere around three maybe four
00:28:14.190 --> 00:28:17.119
degrees down is probably pretty close
00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:20.639
the the sweep first hit down is a little
00:28:20.639 --> 00:28:23.190
tricky because what when some people
00:28:23.190 --> 00:28:25.409
feel sweeping they'll get that four
00:28:25.409 --> 00:28:27.929
degrees forward and oftentimes when
00:28:27.929 --> 00:28:30.719
golfers try to hit down they do it with
00:28:30.719 --> 00:28:33.719
more of a forward lunge and then end up
00:28:33.719 --> 00:28:36.690
scooping and they don't hit down as much
00:28:36.690 --> 00:28:39.509
as the the phrase I like is trying to
00:28:39.509 --> 00:28:41.669
hit forward of the golf ball so working
00:28:41.669 --> 00:28:43.799
on where the club brushes the ground if
00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:46.289
you have it brushing slightly ahead of
00:28:46.289 --> 00:28:48.809
the golf ball so let's say from the
00:28:48.809 --> 00:28:50.789
middle of the golf ball onward then
00:28:50.789 --> 00:28:53.129
you're going to hit down at least a
00:28:53.129 --> 00:28:55.070
couple degrees which is gonna be
00:28:55.070 --> 00:28:57.269
depending on your club head speed all
00:28:57.269 --> 00:28:59.489
you really need
00:28:59.489 --> 00:29:03.479
Kevin's asking slightly off topic how do
00:29:03.479 --> 00:29:05.639
you get heavyset guys big-chested
00:29:05.639 --> 00:29:08.309
perhaps to get their right arm into
00:29:08.309 --> 00:29:10.499
external rotation P four to six or
00:29:10.499 --> 00:29:12.359
better said lay the shaft down
00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:17.309
shallowing honestly I usually do it more
00:29:17.309 --> 00:29:22.440
with the lead arm it is it's challenging
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:26.009
to have that much mass in the way of
00:29:26.009 --> 00:29:26.800
where
00:29:26.800 --> 00:29:30.700
your right shoulder needs to go so what
00:29:30.700 --> 00:29:32.710
I would what I've seen you know from
00:29:32.710 --> 00:29:35.830
some of the the bigger guys on tour
00:29:35.830 --> 00:29:37.950
you'll tend to see almost like a
00:29:37.950 --> 00:29:41.080
relaxation of the grip in transition
00:29:41.080 --> 00:29:43.000
you'll see a little bit of kind of
00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:46.300
spacing happen so that that right arm
00:29:46.300 --> 00:29:48.880
can essentially get out of the way but
00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:50.080
the shaft is still getting into a
00:29:50.080 --> 00:29:52.870
shallower position so I do a lot I do a
00:29:52.870 --> 00:29:55.300
lot of lead arm training with some of my
00:29:55.300 --> 00:30:00.820
bigger guys Oh William Brahm I hope you
00:30:00.820 --> 00:30:02.550
at least mentioned my use of the Pels
00:30:02.550 --> 00:30:05.170
learning aids I'm not on his payroll
00:30:05.170 --> 00:30:08.320
they almost bypass the need for focus
00:30:08.320 --> 00:30:10.960
because the focus is so immediate in
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:15.490
drastic idea so it's different skills
00:30:15.490 --> 00:30:18.550
when we're getting into putting than the
00:30:18.550 --> 00:30:20.320
full swing for putting the three main
00:30:20.320 --> 00:30:23.820
skills are starting a ball on line
00:30:23.820 --> 00:30:27.250
controlling distance and with tempo and
00:30:27.250 --> 00:30:30.220
length of Swing and reading a green so
00:30:30.220 --> 00:30:33.520
for reading a green I will use things
00:30:33.520 --> 00:30:36.700
like the perfect putter with the perfect
00:30:36.700 --> 00:30:38.230
putter you have to recognize that it
00:30:38.230 --> 00:30:40.540
gets the ball rolling a little faster
00:30:40.540 --> 00:30:43.570
than you would off the putter so while
00:30:43.570 --> 00:30:47.050
it rolls a perfect putt it does not show
00:30:47.050 --> 00:30:49.210
the accurate break of what the putt
00:30:49.210 --> 00:30:51.460
would be if you hit it with a putter it
00:30:51.460 --> 00:30:53.710
will show the accurate break of maybe if
00:30:53.710 --> 00:30:56.770
you had the device a foot behind where
00:30:56.770 --> 00:30:59.200
you're actually putting from but that
00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:02.860
can help with green reading I like to
00:31:02.860 --> 00:31:06.730
use digital levels and the the aim point
00:31:06.730 --> 00:31:11.170
lie board to help golfers learn how to
00:31:11.170 --> 00:31:14.290
feel slope with their feet and then as
00:31:14.290 --> 00:31:18.150
far as start line their their devices
00:31:18.150 --> 00:31:20.860
you know that can help with ball rolling
00:31:20.860 --> 00:31:24.930
end over end you can use gates tees
00:31:24.930 --> 00:31:29.650
whether it's the the Pels forget the
00:31:29.650 --> 00:31:31.150
name of it but the little triangle thing
00:31:31.150 --> 00:31:33.340
with the marbles I think is great all
00:31:33.340 --> 00:31:35.010
those things that force you into
00:31:35.010 --> 00:31:37.680
committing to a start line
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:39.600
work really well one of the simplest
00:31:39.600 --> 00:31:41.400
ones is you take a dime and you place it
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:44.220
a little more than two feet in front of
00:31:44.220 --> 00:31:46.950
the golf ball a dime place that two feet
00:31:46.950 --> 00:31:48.900
in front of the golf ball has the same
00:31:48.900 --> 00:31:51.630
geometry of the hole at about ten feet
00:31:51.630 --> 00:31:55.080
so if you can roll a ball over a dime
00:31:55.080 --> 00:31:57.780
then you can basically make a straight
00:31:57.780 --> 00:32:00.630
ten footer at least your alignment and
00:32:00.630 --> 00:32:02.520
start line says that you can make it and
00:32:02.520 --> 00:32:05.970
then as far as speed control I do like
00:32:05.970 --> 00:32:10.530
to use metronomes and and tees or things
00:32:10.530 --> 00:32:12.960
like the the Vizio mat just to work on
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:17.550
kind of pacing and work on controlling
00:32:17.550 --> 00:32:20.040
the length of the swing so with putting
00:32:20.040 --> 00:32:23.190
I would say there's a couple different
00:32:23.190 --> 00:32:25.050
ways you can approach distance control
00:32:25.050 --> 00:32:26.580
which is one of the more challenging
00:32:26.580 --> 00:32:30.870
skills I you can approach distance
00:32:30.870 --> 00:32:33.840
control by either creating one baseline
00:32:33.840 --> 00:32:36.300
putting stroke and then like let's say
00:32:36.300 --> 00:32:39.600
I'm gonna take the putter back to just
00:32:39.600 --> 00:32:42.270
outside my own let's say six inches
00:32:42.270 --> 00:32:43.530
outside my foot I'm gonna take it back
00:32:43.530 --> 00:32:45.180
to six inches outside my foot and I'm
00:32:45.180 --> 00:32:46.740
gonna try to hit it the same distance
00:32:46.740 --> 00:32:50.070
every single time I can place tees on
00:32:50.070 --> 00:32:52.800
the ground or I can use the metronome to
00:32:52.800 --> 00:32:55.950
help make sure that my putting tempo is
00:32:55.950 --> 00:32:58.140
pretty consistent and then if I take it
00:32:58.140 --> 00:33:00.630
back the same length swing I should be
00:33:00.630 --> 00:33:03.240
able to get it to stop within about a
00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:05.940
foot to let's say two feet depending on
00:33:05.940 --> 00:33:10.590
how far that putt is well then if I have
00:33:10.590 --> 00:33:12.390
this baseline and I know about how far
00:33:12.390 --> 00:33:15.570
that goes I can go a little shorter for
00:33:15.570 --> 00:33:17.280
short putts and a little longer for long
00:33:17.280 --> 00:33:19.290
putts and I can use that as my
00:33:19.290 --> 00:33:21.540
calibration whenever I go to a new
00:33:21.540 --> 00:33:25.890
course so again for putting there's lots
00:33:25.890 --> 00:33:28.230
of devices to work on start line there's
00:33:28.230 --> 00:33:33.120
lots of devices to help with path but
00:33:33.120 --> 00:33:37.620
really path is secondary to face control
00:33:37.620 --> 00:33:40.560
in putting so if you're if you can
00:33:40.560 --> 00:33:42.930
control the face to start it online you
00:33:42.930 --> 00:33:44.730
can control your tempo to roll it the
00:33:44.730 --> 00:33:46.260
distance you want and you can read
00:33:46.260 --> 00:33:50.060
greens you can be a really good putter
00:33:50.299 --> 00:33:54.090
okay I had one other question from Jim
00:33:54.090 --> 00:33:57.659
who I see signed on he was asking about
00:33:57.659 --> 00:34:01.980
and this is a this is a little separate
00:34:01.980 --> 00:34:05.610
from the training aid discussion I
00:34:05.610 --> 00:34:07.980
covered most of the training aids on the
00:34:07.980 --> 00:34:10.829
list but if you have any that I didn't
00:34:10.829 --> 00:34:13.260
cover just type them in the chat box
00:34:13.260 --> 00:34:16.589
right now his question was more on like
00:34:16.589 --> 00:34:18.210
power source training and sequencing
00:34:18.210 --> 00:34:21.379
training so he was asking about left arm
00:34:21.379 --> 00:34:24.750
adduction in transition followed by
00:34:24.750 --> 00:34:27.510
abduction through the ball it creates a
00:34:27.510 --> 00:34:29.879
little bit of a shoulder load loading
00:34:29.879 --> 00:34:33.089
swing a slingshot it's helpful for
00:34:33.089 --> 00:34:37.079
getting the low point forward but it's
00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:38.909
really helpful for getting the arkwide
00:34:38.909 --> 00:34:41.700
in the follow-through if you do the
00:34:41.700 --> 00:34:45.359
opposite or if you disconnect too soon
00:34:45.359 --> 00:34:47.700
then what I'll typically happen is the
00:34:47.700 --> 00:34:49.980
club will pass your chest too early and
00:34:49.980 --> 00:34:52.470
once the club passes your chest you're
00:34:52.470 --> 00:34:54.629
gonna have to bend your arms in order to
00:34:54.629 --> 00:34:58.740
absorb the speed so this question was
00:34:58.740 --> 00:35:00.599
basically what promotes this is it a
00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:02.430
natural movement of the body or is it
00:35:02.430 --> 00:35:05.490
something the arms should do if the arms
00:35:05.490 --> 00:35:09.450
are soft and relaxed then if my body
00:35:09.450 --> 00:35:12.630
turns into my arm that's gonna load my
00:35:12.630 --> 00:35:15.720
shoulder I never want my golfers
00:35:15.720 --> 00:35:18.660
thinking of kind of pulling away from
00:35:18.660 --> 00:35:21.380
the target there was a there was a
00:35:21.380 --> 00:35:23.849
phrase that I loved when I heard a
00:35:23.849 --> 00:35:27.540
javelin throw or a javelin coach talk
00:35:27.540 --> 00:35:29.849
about teaching javelin throw and that
00:35:29.849 --> 00:35:32.460
basically you run away from the drab
00:35:32.460 --> 00:35:34.109
javelin you don't pull it back
00:35:34.109 --> 00:35:35.880
you always want energy moving in the
00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:37.380
direction of the target but in order to
00:35:37.380 --> 00:35:39.859
fire muscles you need to stretch them so
00:35:39.859 --> 00:35:43.560
instead of pulling the javelin back and
00:35:43.560 --> 00:35:46.260
then letting it go you keep that javelin
00:35:46.260 --> 00:35:48.119
in space and you move your shoulder away
00:35:48.119 --> 00:35:50.940
from it faster and then let it go so
00:35:50.940 --> 00:35:52.410
you've got energy always moving in the
00:35:52.410 --> 00:35:54.930
direction of the target so even though
00:35:54.930 --> 00:35:57.089
I'm going to create this load of my
00:35:57.089 --> 00:35:59.119
shoulder it's not because I'm
00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:01.069
my shoulder back it's because I have
00:36:01.069 --> 00:36:03.109
good sequencing in my lower body is
00:36:03.109 --> 00:36:06.049
turning into the shoulder faster than my
00:36:06.049 --> 00:36:08.119
arm is pulling away from it and that
00:36:08.119 --> 00:36:10.670
loads the stretch in a more productive
00:36:10.670 --> 00:36:13.490
way or a more powerful way the
00:36:13.490 --> 00:36:15.920
consequences of not doing it correctly
00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:19.910
is if you don't load into the shoulder
00:36:19.910 --> 00:36:22.970
it means that your sequencing is off it
00:36:22.970 --> 00:36:24.680
means that you're firing more your
00:36:24.680 --> 00:36:27.829
shoulders first and then your core would
00:36:27.829 --> 00:36:30.619
have to basically catch up or stabilize
00:36:30.619 --> 00:36:33.950
it so it could again potentially zap you
00:36:33.950 --> 00:36:37.839
of some power and it could potentially
00:36:37.839 --> 00:36:40.779
that would be the it could potentially
00:36:40.779 --> 00:36:42.950
affect you with the driver because it
00:36:42.950 --> 00:36:44.960
would prevent you from getting the wide
00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:47.869
point later and later it would tend to
00:36:47.869 --> 00:36:49.339
cause your right arm to have to
00:36:49.339 --> 00:36:51.890
straighten a little bit too soon which
00:36:51.890 --> 00:36:54.170
would tend your body to cause your body
00:36:54.170 --> 00:36:57.710
to stall a little bit so now the thing
00:36:57.710 --> 00:37:01.249
that it could challenge you with is if
00:37:01.249 --> 00:37:03.200
you aren't really comfortable getting
00:37:03.200 --> 00:37:05.450
shaft rotation or if you're not really
00:37:05.450 --> 00:37:07.420
comfortable powering it with your body
00:37:07.420 --> 00:37:11.900
then it could cause you to almost have
00:37:11.900 --> 00:37:13.700
the opposite effect of good sequencing
00:37:13.700 --> 00:37:16.400
okay it could cause you to get out of
00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:18.499
position and out of timing and it could
00:37:18.499 --> 00:37:19.999
prevent you from getting the clubface
00:37:19.999 --> 00:37:22.519
too square especially if you get more of
00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:24.440
your squaring from straightening that
00:37:24.440 --> 00:37:28.009
trail arm instead of just rotating the
00:37:28.009 --> 00:37:30.769
club shaft with the forearms as your
00:37:30.769 --> 00:37:36.440
body is powering it what about let's see
00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:38.589
you've got a couple other questions
00:37:38.589 --> 00:37:42.230
Golden Gate coming in do you believe in
00:37:42.230 --> 00:37:45.230
chunking to get swing in memory we're
00:37:45.230 --> 00:37:48.650
taking at least 200 the 300 swings for a
00:37:48.650 --> 00:37:51.230
new technique your thought is the winter
00:37:51.230 --> 00:37:54.140
a good time for repetition practice yes
00:37:54.140 --> 00:37:57.380
I I'm absolutely a big fan of chunking
00:37:57.380 --> 00:38:01.160
I'll I'll tell my students that the
00:38:01.160 --> 00:38:03.589
research I've seen shows that you would
00:38:03.589 --> 00:38:06.289
your goal is frequency not necessarily
00:38:06.289 --> 00:38:07.350
duration so
00:38:07.350 --> 00:38:10.320
if you're doing ten minutes five times a
00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:12.060
day that's probably better than doing
00:38:12.060 --> 00:38:15.840
two hours once a day so if you're if
00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:18.510
you're able to you know even do
00:38:18.510 --> 00:38:20.790
slow-motion practice or a little bit at
00:38:20.790 --> 00:38:21.560
home
00:38:21.560 --> 00:38:24.150
I'll give them toothbrush drills so
00:38:24.150 --> 00:38:26.430
things that you can work on in the
00:38:26.430 --> 00:38:29.430
morning or in the evening standing in
00:38:29.430 --> 00:38:31.350
the elevator you know we've all seen
00:38:31.350 --> 00:38:33.000
that PGA Tour commercial where people
00:38:33.000 --> 00:38:34.350
are practicing their swing at all
00:38:34.350 --> 00:38:36.570
different points that can be really
00:38:36.570 --> 00:38:40.170
useful if you have a hitting station
00:38:40.170 --> 00:38:42.480
either in your basement or garage doing
00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:46.860
shorter sets is a is something that'll
00:38:46.860 --> 00:38:54.750
usually speed up the learning so but as
00:38:54.750 --> 00:38:57.180
far as taking at least 200 to 300 swings
00:38:57.180 --> 00:39:01.100
it it depends on how good your
00:39:01.100 --> 00:39:05.850
vocabulary is so basically the better
00:39:05.850 --> 00:39:08.790
your body awareness the better your
00:39:08.790 --> 00:39:12.630
understanding of the different phases of
00:39:12.630 --> 00:39:15.060
your swing so if you understand your
00:39:15.060 --> 00:39:17.430
release you understand your transition
00:39:17.430 --> 00:39:20.070
you'll be able to make swings a whole
00:39:20.070 --> 00:39:22.980
lot or swing changes a lot faster than
00:39:22.980 --> 00:39:26.850
someone who does not so if you're early
00:39:26.850 --> 00:39:28.740
in the learning stages it may even be
00:39:28.740 --> 00:39:30.900
more than that maybe more like 500 to a
00:39:30.900 --> 00:39:35.280
thousand so you know essentially like 10
00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:39.570
buckets of balls or so but if you if you
00:39:39.570 --> 00:39:42.360
have a solid understanding of your stock
00:39:42.360 --> 00:39:44.730
swing I think you can be less than that
00:39:44.730 --> 00:39:46.860
I think it could be closer to the you
00:39:46.860 --> 00:39:51.060
know 2 to 3 buckets but usually it's not
00:39:51.060 --> 00:39:52.710
gonna happen overnight you are gonna
00:39:52.710 --> 00:39:54.840
have to put in some practice before
00:39:54.840 --> 00:39:57.990
it'll even show up in flashes on the
00:39:57.990 --> 00:40:00.120
course
00:40:00.120 --> 00:40:02.640
chrisp admins asking what about trades
00:40:02.640 --> 00:40:05.610
for neural training or is that another
00:40:05.610 --> 00:40:09.650
episode you know that's that's probably
00:40:09.650 --> 00:40:12.870
another episode there's the one of the
00:40:12.870 --> 00:40:16.500
things that I will pass on there's
00:40:16.500 --> 00:40:18.870
there's a couple different
00:40:18.870 --> 00:40:20.790
devices out there like there's the halo
00:40:20.790 --> 00:40:25.050
there's Debbie cruises that uses the
00:40:25.050 --> 00:40:25.680
muse
00:40:25.680 --> 00:40:28.920
there's the focus band one of the things
00:40:28.920 --> 00:40:30.960
that I've learned from looking in that
00:40:30.960 --> 00:40:34.470
space is that there's two different
00:40:34.470 --> 00:40:36.030
schools one teaches focus and the other
00:40:36.030 --> 00:40:40.050
teaches relaxation relaxation is best
00:40:40.050 --> 00:40:43.230
done in between shots and focus is best
00:40:43.230 --> 00:40:45.810
done in the play box or over the ball so
00:40:45.810 --> 00:40:48.660
they teach slightly different skills you
00:40:48.660 --> 00:40:51.270
just have to know which it is that you
00:40:51.270 --> 00:40:54.060
need to be able to apply but trying to
00:40:54.060 --> 00:40:56.760
get in a really mellow relaxed state
00:40:56.760 --> 00:40:59.700
over the ball is not the same thing as
00:40:59.700 --> 00:41:02.760
being focused so I'm a little cautious
00:41:02.760 --> 00:41:06.390
on using things like the focus band over
00:41:06.390 --> 00:41:08.220
the ball I think the focus man trains a
00:41:08.220 --> 00:41:11.760
great skill but it's not the skill you
00:41:11.760 --> 00:41:15.030
would want in the state of when you're
00:41:15.030 --> 00:41:19.410
actually executing the shot the swing
00:41:19.410 --> 00:41:20.910
my guess is actually about a swing
00:41:20.910 --> 00:41:23.280
extender yes he you send the email swing
00:41:23.280 --> 00:41:25.740
extender is this plastic device that
00:41:25.740 --> 00:41:29.100
goes in between here basically it
00:41:29.100 --> 00:41:31.530
prevents you from over bending your arm
00:41:31.530 --> 00:41:36.300
on the backswing but I have have seen it
00:41:36.300 --> 00:41:39.300
used successfully in trying to Train
00:41:39.300 --> 00:41:43.170
keeping the bend during the down swing
00:41:43.170 --> 00:41:46.950
the key the key is the down the line a
00:41:46.950 --> 00:41:48.570
lot of golfers who would work on that
00:41:48.570 --> 00:41:51.690
would still get the club too far out in
00:41:51.690 --> 00:41:53.340
front of them so you'd have to make sure
00:41:53.340 --> 00:41:55.020
that you're getting some of the
00:41:55.020 --> 00:41:56.880
shallowing as you're keeping that Bend
00:41:56.880 --> 00:41:59.280
and that shallowing would come more from
00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:02.330
the external rotation or from the lead
00:42:02.330 --> 00:42:06.000
lead form rotation instead of actively
00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:11.790
from the shoulder but that can be that
00:42:11.790 --> 00:42:13.110
can be useful if that's your main
00:42:13.110 --> 00:42:15.210
barrier like let's say you're working on
00:42:15.210 --> 00:42:17.580
sequencing and you recognize you see it
00:42:17.580 --> 00:42:19.890
on video you see that your main barrier
00:42:19.890 --> 00:42:21.750
to sequencing is that right arm tends to
00:42:21.750 --> 00:42:24.150
get straight too soon then doing
00:42:24.150 --> 00:42:26.850
something to actively prevent you from
00:42:26.850 --> 00:42:28.500
straightening it too soon will help
00:42:28.500 --> 00:42:31.320
encourage the body to lead longer and
00:42:31.320 --> 00:42:31.600
longer
00:42:31.600 --> 00:42:33.670
in the downswing so that's the smart way
00:42:33.670 --> 00:42:38.550
to use the training aids is to use it to
00:42:38.550 --> 00:42:41.410
directly affect one skill don't just use
00:42:41.410 --> 00:42:43.390
it because you think that it's the right
00:42:43.390 --> 00:42:45.780
thing to do
00:42:45.780 --> 00:42:49.540
all right how about the pitch grip I
00:42:49.540 --> 00:42:54.250
don't don't know what the pitch grip is
00:42:54.250 --> 00:42:57.850
so shoot me an email about that one and
00:42:57.850 --> 00:42:59.250
I'll take a look at it
00:42:59.250 --> 00:43:02.260
chris is asking about the halo I haven't
00:43:02.260 --> 00:43:04.870
used the halo myself one of my
00:43:04.870 --> 00:43:07.240
colleagues does speak highly of it but I
00:43:07.240 --> 00:43:09.130
have yet to get my hands on one and try
00:43:09.130 --> 00:43:13.120
one I've tried the muse and I like it
00:43:13.120 --> 00:43:15.610
but I have yet to try the halo on that
00:43:15.610 --> 00:43:22.150
side any aids for the release yes the
00:43:22.150 --> 00:43:23.830
well the impact snap helps the release
00:43:23.830 --> 00:43:28.390
again if you're using it correctly the
00:43:28.390 --> 00:43:33.790
educator works on the release I my
00:43:33.790 --> 00:43:35.740
favorite way to train the releases with
00:43:35.740 --> 00:43:39.970
the single arm drills and just basically
00:43:39.970 --> 00:43:42.430
being a little bit more aware of the
00:43:42.430 --> 00:43:45.070
proper movements and sequencing of the
00:43:45.070 --> 00:43:46.990
shoulders and the arms through the
00:43:46.990 --> 00:43:51.070
release I'm playing around with kind of
00:43:51.070 --> 00:43:52.630
creating some stuff that I think will
00:43:52.630 --> 00:43:55.750
help with that but I haven't seen
00:43:55.750 --> 00:43:58.600
anything great yet on the market that
00:43:58.600 --> 00:44:02.200
specifically trains either the trail or
00:44:02.200 --> 00:44:04.390
the lead arm there's a bunch of things
00:44:04.390 --> 00:44:06.550
that train kind of the club but I
00:44:06.550 --> 00:44:08.080
haven't seen anything that trains the
00:44:08.080 --> 00:44:10.270
whole arm which is why I'm I'm working
00:44:10.270 --> 00:44:15.130
on stuff for that all right we've got we
00:44:15.130 --> 00:44:18.790
got time for maybe one more if anything
00:44:18.790 --> 00:44:22.600
comes in quickly I want to sorry for the
00:44:22.600 --> 00:44:26.230
little audio issue this time I will
00:44:26.230 --> 00:44:29.320
however basically I'll make sure that
00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:34.330
the mic is plugged in next time one
00:44:34.330 --> 00:44:37.510
quick last question any training aids
00:44:37.510 --> 00:44:41.620
for the lower body sequencing well um so
00:44:41.620 --> 00:44:44.800
that's a great question so lower body
00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:45.549
sequencing
00:44:45.549 --> 00:44:49.509
the the things that I like to do to work
00:44:49.509 --> 00:44:51.640
on improving lower-body sequencing is to
00:44:51.640 --> 00:44:53.919
get you aware of how your feet need to
00:44:53.919 --> 00:44:56.319
work against the ground so my favorite
00:44:56.319 --> 00:44:57.939
things to do especially in the offseason
00:44:57.939 --> 00:45:02.799
are more like lateral agility drills you
00:45:02.799 --> 00:45:07.289
know people who like to ice skate right
00:45:07.289 --> 00:45:11.169
helps learn how to push against the
00:45:11.169 --> 00:45:14.109
ground properly typically I find that
00:45:14.109 --> 00:45:16.419
golfers who struggle more with the lower
00:45:16.419 --> 00:45:20.140
body sequencing have poorer balance poor
00:45:20.140 --> 00:45:22.869
foot ankle awareness and have never done
00:45:22.869 --> 00:45:24.489
any skills where they had to move
00:45:24.489 --> 00:45:28.359
laterally or change direction quickly
00:45:28.359 --> 00:45:31.959
and and so doing things working on
00:45:31.959 --> 00:45:34.359
that's why things like step drills and
00:45:34.359 --> 00:45:37.419
step drills swinging the rope work
00:45:37.419 --> 00:45:40.809
really well though the the leader board
00:45:40.809 --> 00:45:42.479
was an interesting device because it got
00:45:42.479 --> 00:45:46.509
good muscle activation but it didn't
00:45:46.509 --> 00:45:49.569
necessarily train the proper foot
00:45:49.569 --> 00:45:54.099
mechanics so I ID fault two lateral
00:45:54.099 --> 00:45:57.519
shuffles lateral bounding and then step
00:45:57.519 --> 00:46:02.409
drills working on the Jackson 5 but for
00:46:02.409 --> 00:46:04.329
those who do rollerblading and ice
00:46:04.329 --> 00:46:06.249
skating work really well for helping
00:46:06.249 --> 00:46:09.429
train lower body sequencing just make
00:46:09.429 --> 00:46:11.469
sure you know how to ice-skate before
00:46:11.469 --> 00:46:14.229
you go out there and try to do it
00:46:14.229 --> 00:46:18.279
explosively if you have any other any
00:46:18.279 --> 00:46:20.259
other thoughts we're kind of coming to
00:46:20.259 --> 00:46:21.939
the end of our our time here so if you
00:46:21.939 --> 00:46:23.469
have any other questions feel free to
00:46:23.469 --> 00:46:26.049
shoot me an email at support at golf
00:46:26.049 --> 00:46:27.069
smart academy.com
00:46:27.069 --> 00:46:29.019
or if you have any suggestions for
00:46:29.019 --> 00:46:31.449
topics you'd like to see covered in
00:46:31.449 --> 00:46:33.869
future q A's
00:46:33.869 --> 00:46:36.579
thanks for everyone for writing in their
00:46:36.579 --> 00:46:39.399
questions happy New Year to everyone out
00:46:39.399 --> 00:46:44.289
there and happy 2018 if you haven't
00:46:44.289 --> 00:46:49.449
checked it out we've got I've got my my
00:46:49.449 --> 00:46:52.329
book we're closing in on selling 500
00:46:52.329 --> 00:46:56.799
copies perfect thank you very much so
00:46:56.799 --> 00:46:57.860
we've got the
00:46:57.860 --> 00:46:59.630
the book that I launched in November
00:46:59.630 --> 00:47:02.510
will probably do a QA where we'll just
00:47:02.510 --> 00:47:05.330
go through questions based on topics
00:47:05.330 --> 00:47:07.250
that I've covered in the book that was
00:47:07.250 --> 00:47:08.630
one suggestion and we'll get that
00:47:08.630 --> 00:47:12.320
probably going pretty soon it's been
00:47:12.320 --> 00:47:13.850
pretty well received I'm pretty happy
00:47:13.850 --> 00:47:14.330
with it
00:47:14.330 --> 00:47:17.360
so I love if you check it out and review
00:47:17.360 --> 00:47:19.220
it on Amazon that's where we're
00:47:19.220 --> 00:47:21.680
currently selling it if you have any
00:47:21.680 --> 00:47:26.150
questions about training AIDS offseason
00:47:26.150 --> 00:47:28.220
programs again send them to support and
00:47:28.220 --> 00:47:30.200
I'll answer them directly but thanks
00:47:30.200 --> 00:47:34.160
again for everybody for yeah I'll put
00:47:34.160 --> 00:47:37.640
the up with the Oh put the link to the
00:47:37.640 --> 00:47:40.600
right arm drills in the link below
00:47:40.600 --> 00:47:43.730
absolutely Chris I'll see hit the next
00:47:43.730 --> 00:47:45.530
class and I'll be sure to sign your copy
00:47:45.530 --> 00:47:48.800
all right thank you again for signing in
00:47:48.800 --> 00:47:51.260
I look forward to seeing you guys in the
00:47:51.260 --> 00:47:54.860
next Q&A as always good luck and happy
00:47:54.860 --> 00:47:57.220
golfing
00:00:00.079 --> 00:00:02.280
anyway just building off what we did
00:00:02.280 --> 00:00:06.319
last week we were talking mostly about
00:00:06.319 --> 00:00:13.559
getting a couple all right
00:00:13.559 --> 00:00:15.540
most people are saying that we're good
00:00:15.540 --> 00:00:17.390
to go
00:00:17.390 --> 00:00:20.039
should be all set
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:22.220
um building off of what we did last week
00:00:22.220 --> 00:00:24.810
where we were talking about offseason
00:00:24.810 --> 00:00:26.970
training programs and and working either
00:00:26.970 --> 00:00:32.250
in the gym or on the range I thought
00:00:32.250 --> 00:00:34.170
that training is would be a good topic
00:00:34.170 --> 00:00:36.360
because I get periodic questions either
00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:40.170
from my students in person or from you
00:00:40.170 --> 00:00:43.230
guys through the site and training aids
00:00:43.230 --> 00:00:45.950
can be really helpful or they can
00:00:45.950 --> 00:00:49.410
absolutely derail what you're working on
00:00:49.410 --> 00:00:52.770
and I'll use a few examples of golfers
00:00:52.770 --> 00:00:54.360
in the past who have sabotage what we
00:00:54.360 --> 00:00:55.920
were working on by using the wrong
00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:01.620
training but before we before we jump
00:01:01.620 --> 00:01:03.329
into specific training aids and what
00:01:03.329 --> 00:01:05.939
they work on let me just kind of paint
00:01:05.939 --> 00:01:08.939
the big picture you want to use training
00:01:08.939 --> 00:01:15.840
aids I see why would someone have to
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:20.720
audios Wes or Flores
00:01:27.030 --> 00:01:36.720
that's what I've used in the past what
00:01:37.289 --> 00:01:42.340
I'm I see that I see that money out
00:01:42.340 --> 00:01:44.920
there has two different audios um I
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:49.420
would check I would check your
00:01:49.420 --> 00:01:51.220
particular output because we just
00:01:51.220 --> 00:01:52.509
checked it here and it seems like we're
00:01:52.509 --> 00:01:58.330
pretty good so anyway I I want you to
00:01:58.330 --> 00:02:01.110
always know what you're working on so
00:02:01.110 --> 00:02:04.030
there are there are a few key skills
00:02:04.030 --> 00:02:05.380
that you want to work on whenever you're
00:02:05.380 --> 00:02:07.420
trying to improve your golf game one is
00:02:07.420 --> 00:02:10.080
how you create speed which would include
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:14.920
sequencing drills and let's say rhythm
00:02:14.920 --> 00:02:15.670
drills
00:02:15.670 --> 00:02:17.799
how are you power your swing so speed
00:02:17.799 --> 00:02:20.440
training all that stuff the second piece
00:02:20.440 --> 00:02:24.579
would be looking at controlling the path
00:02:24.579 --> 00:02:28.030
and the path can include the horizontal
00:02:28.030 --> 00:02:30.250
swing direction so the direction that
00:02:30.250 --> 00:02:32.500
the swing plane or path is pointing as
00:02:32.500 --> 00:02:35.650
well as low point control if you have a
00:02:35.650 --> 00:02:37.690
good path you will make solid contact if
00:02:37.690 --> 00:02:39.639
you don't have a good path you will not
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:42.850
make good solid contact and then the
00:02:42.850 --> 00:02:44.889
last scale is working on clubface
00:02:44.889 --> 00:02:51.069
control so working on working on how you
00:02:51.069 --> 00:02:55.030
orient the clubface compared to the path
00:02:55.030 --> 00:02:57.819
so if your ball has a lot of curve to it
00:02:57.819 --> 00:03:00.459
then the club face is pointing in the
00:03:00.459 --> 00:03:02.410
direction of the curve compared to the
00:03:02.410 --> 00:03:05.170
path and so once you figure out which of
00:03:05.170 --> 00:03:06.910
those skills you really want to work on
00:03:06.910 --> 00:03:10.389
then you can use a training aid to help
00:03:10.389 --> 00:03:14.380
you correct that specific issue but
00:03:14.380 --> 00:03:16.090
don't just buy a training aid and use it
00:03:16.090 --> 00:03:18.010
just because it's the latest greatest
00:03:18.010 --> 00:03:19.959
thing make sure it's gonna solve your
00:03:19.959 --> 00:03:24.519
specific problems so I've got a list
00:03:24.519 --> 00:03:26.889
here of training aids that most of you
00:03:26.889 --> 00:03:31.840
sent in beforehand if you if you have
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:34.050
any questions or any other
00:03:34.050 --> 00:03:36.840
specific training AIDS go ahead and
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:38.850
shoot them in the text I'll check that
00:03:38.850 --> 00:03:43.970
periodically by far the the most common
00:03:43.970 --> 00:03:48.210
so I tell you about 50% of the emails I
00:03:48.210 --> 00:03:50.520
got included what do you think of the
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.910
orange whip so if we filter back to
00:03:53.910 --> 00:03:55.980
thinking about are we working on path
00:03:55.980 --> 00:03:58.380
are we working on face are we working on
00:03:58.380 --> 00:04:01.080
speed the orange whip is really good at
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.240
working on sequencing there's a couple
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:05.880
guys in the 3d space who have done a
00:04:05.880 --> 00:04:07.560
fair amount of research and shown that
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:10.650
in general kinematic sequences get
00:04:10.650 --> 00:04:12.390
better when you're swinging the orange
00:04:12.390 --> 00:04:15.360
whip you'll also notice that it tends to
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.120
improve the swing path so if you're
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.160
trying to figure out what it feels like
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:23.820
to swing from the inside orange whip is
00:04:23.820 --> 00:04:27.240
a great way to get that feeling now the
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:30.900
problem is it doesn't work on the two
00:04:30.900 --> 00:04:33.000
other key skills so it doesn't work on
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.400
low point control in fact in many cases
00:04:35.400 --> 00:04:38.820
it will cause your low point control to
00:04:38.820 --> 00:04:40.770
move backward and get behind the golf
00:04:40.770 --> 00:04:43.860
ball so if you struggle with low point
00:04:43.860 --> 00:04:47.810
control then this training aid can often
00:04:47.810 --> 00:04:50.490
make it worse especially if you use it
00:04:50.490 --> 00:04:53.310
as a daily warmup the other thing that
00:04:53.310 --> 00:04:55.350
it doesn't work on is it doesn't work on
00:04:55.350 --> 00:04:59.100
club clubface control so it it doesn't
00:04:59.100 --> 00:05:02.280
really help you learn to rotate the
00:05:02.280 --> 00:05:04.170
forearms and orient the face you can get
00:05:04.170 --> 00:05:06.360
away with kind of a scoop flip because
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:08.340
you're not really making contact with
00:05:08.340 --> 00:05:12.900
the ground so again while missing those
00:05:12.900 --> 00:05:16.980
two skills it can make a lumber of swing
00:05:16.980 --> 00:05:20.130
patterns hit the ball worse it can cause
00:05:20.130 --> 00:05:22.980
you to hit it on the it can cause you to
00:05:22.980 --> 00:05:24.600
hit it fat it can cause you to hit it on
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:28.020
the toe it can mess up contact so if
00:05:28.020 --> 00:05:30.600
you're already pretty good at moving low
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.030
point around like you you do some of the
00:05:33.030 --> 00:05:34.860
playing with low point drill where you
00:05:34.860 --> 00:05:37.770
work on hitting low point behind the
00:05:37.770 --> 00:05:39.150
ball low point even with the ball low
00:05:39.150 --> 00:05:40.530
point in front and you work on that
00:05:40.530 --> 00:05:43.950
spectrum then you shouldn't be worried
00:05:43.950 --> 00:05:46.110
about doing a skill that's gonna improve
00:05:46.110 --> 00:05:47.160
your sequencing
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:49.890
improve your speed because you'll know
00:05:49.890 --> 00:05:51.600
how to move the low point back forward
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:53.940
but if you're not very good at that low
00:05:53.940 --> 00:05:57.180
point control drill then I would say
00:05:57.180 --> 00:05:59.630
that the orange whip is at best case
00:05:59.630 --> 00:06:01.860
kind of we'll give it a yellow flag
00:06:01.860 --> 00:06:04.440
right it's it's risky because it codes
00:06:04.440 --> 00:06:06.150
cause you to hit a lot of fat and thin
00:06:06.150 --> 00:06:08.280
shots by moving the low point backward
00:06:08.280 --> 00:06:09.780
by getting your path coming a little bit
00:06:09.780 --> 00:06:14.160
more from the inside the the second
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.500
training aid that I had the greatest
00:06:16.500 --> 00:06:18.150
number of questions about is the super
00:06:18.150 --> 00:06:20.030
speed system right because this is the
00:06:20.030 --> 00:06:22.140
offseason everybody wants to hit the
00:06:22.140 --> 00:06:25.920
ball further so the super speed system
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.790
on paper makes a lot of sense and it it
00:06:29.790 --> 00:06:32.670
has the probably the same advant
00:06:32.670 --> 00:06:35.310
advantage and challenges as the orange
00:06:35.310 --> 00:06:37.710
whip so it really helps with sequencing
00:06:37.710 --> 00:06:40.680
it really helps with improving your path
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:43.890
because it's harder to swing something
00:06:43.890 --> 00:06:47.850
off path as fast as you can when it's on
00:06:47.850 --> 00:06:52.110
plane and as a result typically when you
00:06:52.110 --> 00:06:53.550
don't have a clubface you're not worried
00:06:53.550 --> 00:06:54.750
about low point control you get a
00:06:54.750 --> 00:06:55.950
lighter object and you're just trying to
00:06:55.950 --> 00:06:58.110
swing it fast your path is going to
00:06:58.110 --> 00:07:01.320
improve the problem is then again if you
00:07:01.320 --> 00:07:03.510
don't have the skills to be able to
00:07:03.510 --> 00:07:07.140
control the face so that it works with a
00:07:07.140 --> 00:07:09.360
more neutral path and you don't have the
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:11.460
skills to be able to move the low point
00:07:11.460 --> 00:07:13.919
back forward then it can become a
00:07:13.919 --> 00:07:16.530
problem so I've seen a number of golfers
00:07:16.530 --> 00:07:18.990
who struggle with having the clubface
00:07:18.990 --> 00:07:22.860
more open and closing late and those
00:07:22.860 --> 00:07:25.200
golfers when they use things like super
00:07:25.200 --> 00:07:28.050
speed or to a lesser extent orange whip
00:07:28.050 --> 00:07:31.470
it can cause them to either hit shanks
00:07:31.470 --> 00:07:35.430
or really thin shots like and cause them
00:07:35.430 --> 00:07:37.220
to leave it off to the right because
00:07:37.220 --> 00:07:41.000
better sequencing and better timing
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.560
creates more shaft lean creates more leg
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:45.540
and that opens the face so if you
00:07:45.540 --> 00:07:47.220
already struggle with an open faced
00:07:47.220 --> 00:07:49.620
orientation and then you you kind of
00:07:49.620 --> 00:07:51.210
flip it down to the bottom in order to
00:07:51.210 --> 00:07:55.130
close it then those training aids I
00:07:55.130 --> 00:07:57.419
would say you you want to work on the
00:07:57.419 --> 00:07:59.580
clubface control first before you start
00:07:59.580 --> 00:08:00.380
working
00:08:00.380 --> 00:08:03.290
really dialing in and improving that
00:08:03.290 --> 00:08:09.170
path so that kind of brings us into some
00:08:09.170 --> 00:08:14.080
of the next genre and I one question on
00:08:14.080 --> 00:08:17.060
training the flat left wrist right
00:08:17.060 --> 00:08:18.770
there's a number of training aids out
00:08:18.770 --> 00:08:23.360
there whether it's the blue the blue
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:28.240
strike or the what's Martin Chuck's the
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:32.240
educator the coat hanger like there's a
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.400
lot of things that help you keep that
00:08:34.400 --> 00:08:37.910
left wrist flat and those can be really
00:08:37.910 --> 00:08:41.599
useful for 9:00 to 3:00 training there's
00:08:41.599 --> 00:08:43.400
gonna be really useful for working on
00:08:43.400 --> 00:08:46.280
the arm mechanic so basically working on
00:08:46.280 --> 00:08:51.070
a really good arm and hand release now
00:08:51.070 --> 00:08:54.380
the question was basically with those
00:08:54.380 --> 00:08:57.920
devices when we're looking at that left
00:08:57.920 --> 00:09:01.100
wrist staying flat what happens then
00:09:01.100 --> 00:09:02.210
when you go to a full swing because
00:09:02.210 --> 00:09:03.740
obviously in the full swing at some
00:09:03.740 --> 00:09:06.650
point that wrist starts to lose flexion
00:09:06.650 --> 00:09:10.010
and move towards extension so is it
00:09:10.010 --> 00:09:12.650
worthwhile to train the nine to threes
00:09:12.650 --> 00:09:15.500
and keep it more in flexion or are you
00:09:15.500 --> 00:09:18.440
setting yourself for a bad pattern what
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:21.890
I have typically found is that yes doing
00:09:21.890 --> 00:09:25.190
nine threes with those type of training
00:09:25.190 --> 00:09:28.220
aids can be really helpful because what
00:09:28.220 --> 00:09:30.440
should pull the left wrist out of
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:33.650
flexion and into extension is more the
00:09:33.650 --> 00:09:35.750
speed and the movement of the left
00:09:35.750 --> 00:09:40.190
shoulder so essentially this space here
00:09:40.190 --> 00:09:43.370
so down at the bottom of the swing let's
00:09:43.370 --> 00:09:45.620
say I've got a little bit of flexion in
00:09:45.620 --> 00:09:48.140
my wrist like this well the club is
00:09:48.140 --> 00:09:50.390
going to be pulling that way and as my
00:09:50.390 --> 00:09:52.790
body is rotating aside bending that left
00:09:52.790 --> 00:09:55.010
shoulder is going to be pulling back up
00:09:55.010 --> 00:09:56.960
away from the golf ball that way so I've
00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:58.970
got one thing pulling that way one thing
00:09:58.970 --> 00:09:59.390
pulling
00:09:59.390 --> 00:10:01.970
whay everything in the in between those
00:10:01.970 --> 00:10:03.890
points is going to want to move towards
00:10:03.890 --> 00:10:06.080
neutral and basically reach a straight
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:09.320
line between them so what takes it out
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:12.740
of flexion is more good bracing and good
00:10:12.740 --> 00:10:14.810
body speed so if you're doing little
00:10:14.810 --> 00:10:18.710
nine to three shots it can be really
00:10:18.710 --> 00:10:21.740
helpful to train keeping that left wrist
00:10:21.740 --> 00:10:24.950
flat all the way through a nine to three
00:10:24.950 --> 00:10:27.170
or a short you know waist height swing
00:10:27.170 --> 00:10:31.520
the what I typically find is golfers who
00:10:31.520 --> 00:10:33.260
struggle with having that left wrist
00:10:33.260 --> 00:10:35.180
flat and having more of a scoop are
00:10:35.180 --> 00:10:37.790
trying to absorb the force this way
00:10:37.790 --> 00:10:40.190
instead of absorbing the force with a
00:10:40.190 --> 00:10:44.360
little bit more natural supination so
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:46.220
basically allowing the club to rotate
00:10:46.220 --> 00:10:49.160
but when the club is passing they all
00:10:49.160 --> 00:10:51.470
fall in passing your body you're going
00:10:51.470 --> 00:10:53.510
to have to absorb the force one way or
00:10:53.510 --> 00:10:56.300
the other so if you're struggling with
00:10:56.300 --> 00:10:57.800
having more of a scoop where the handle
00:10:57.800 --> 00:11:02.480
is getting back then doing swings that
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:04.310
force the wrist to stay flexed and
00:11:04.310 --> 00:11:07.190
learning to absorb it more with that
00:11:07.190 --> 00:11:10.370
rotation helps build the skill that will
00:11:10.370 --> 00:11:13.100
make it easier to get the shaft lean you
00:11:13.100 --> 00:11:15.790
want when you start taking full swings
00:11:15.790 --> 00:11:19.700
so I am a fan of things that help
00:11:19.700 --> 00:11:21.770
promote the flat left wrist and things
00:11:21.770 --> 00:11:25.160
that promote shaft lean I just don't
00:11:25.160 --> 00:11:28.580
like to do really big full swings with
00:11:28.580 --> 00:11:31.880
them because in order to do it correctly
00:11:31.880 --> 00:11:34.130
or in order to use the training aid the
00:11:34.130 --> 00:11:36.890
way it looks like it's design you'd have
00:11:36.890 --> 00:11:41.660
to effectively use your body in a poor
00:11:41.660 --> 00:11:43.310
way you wouldn't be able to pivot quite
00:11:43.310 --> 00:11:47.300
as well okay so then I've got a few
00:11:47.300 --> 00:11:49.070
other trainings that we'll go through
00:11:49.070 --> 00:11:51.710
before I get in a few the questions
00:11:51.710 --> 00:11:54.710
related to them so we've got the the
00:11:54.710 --> 00:11:58.100
impact snap which I actually I I think
00:11:58.100 --> 00:12:03.110
is a pretty smart training device I have
00:12:03.110 --> 00:12:05.740
a drill on the site where I work on
00:12:05.740 --> 00:12:09.070
ulnar deviation and ulnar deviation is
00:12:09.070 --> 00:12:11.620
of the key movements of the left wrist
00:12:11.620 --> 00:12:14.410
going like this that essentially creates
00:12:14.410 --> 00:12:16.570
within the follow-through so when it
00:12:16.570 --> 00:12:18.820
starts reimaging it will tend to have a
00:12:18.820 --> 00:12:22.899
look more like this and if you work on
00:12:22.899 --> 00:12:25.089
that left wrist getting into only
00:12:25.089 --> 00:12:26.949
deviation it will tend to have a look
00:12:26.949 --> 00:12:27.790
coming through
00:12:27.790 --> 00:12:31.360
more like that so you can as a cheap
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:32.769
version one of the drills I have on the
00:12:32.769 --> 00:12:35.800
site is working on getting that let the
00:12:35.800 --> 00:12:39.670
grip more in line with the forearm later
00:12:39.670 --> 00:12:44.589
and later but Calvin miyahara has a
00:12:44.589 --> 00:12:46.269
training device called the impact snap
00:12:46.269 --> 00:12:49.300
where basically it forces you to get
00:12:49.300 --> 00:12:53.079
into that impact position now the only
00:12:53.079 --> 00:12:55.120
thing that I don't like about it is
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:57.730
there's a there's a ball bearing in it
00:12:57.730 --> 00:13:00.899
used for timing and in order to get that
00:13:00.899 --> 00:13:04.240
timing or get the ball bearing to snap
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:05.769
on the other side of the golf ball
00:13:05.769 --> 00:13:08.380
you really have to hold off the only
00:13:08.380 --> 00:13:11.949
deviation for an exaggerated period of
00:13:11.949 --> 00:13:14.769
time at least compared to what I see on
00:13:14.769 --> 00:13:19.089
3d and what I see in in practice I'm a
00:13:19.089 --> 00:13:22.060
bigger fan of trying to get that ulnar
00:13:22.060 --> 00:13:25.839
deviation to happen earlier because if
00:13:25.839 --> 00:13:27.610
you get that ulnar deviation happening
00:13:27.610 --> 00:13:30.490
earlier and more gradual it tends to
00:13:30.490 --> 00:13:33.510
promote body rotation on the way through
00:13:33.510 --> 00:13:35.800
and body rotation on the way through
00:13:35.800 --> 00:13:40.300
tends to help promote the increase arc
00:13:40.300 --> 00:13:41.980
with or the wide point getting on the
00:13:41.980 --> 00:13:43.779
other side of the golf ball which helps
00:13:43.779 --> 00:13:45.339
with your flat spot and overall
00:13:45.339 --> 00:13:48.970
consistency so I am a big fan of the
00:13:48.970 --> 00:13:53.050
impact snap I think just doing the the
00:13:53.050 --> 00:13:54.579
perfect place to do that type of
00:13:54.579 --> 00:13:56.920
training is whenever you're just hanging
00:13:56.920 --> 00:13:59.230
out watching TV all of a lot of my
00:13:59.230 --> 00:14:01.600
students you know grab either a sharpie
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:04.959
or a TV remote and work on wrist
00:14:04.959 --> 00:14:06.880
mechanics just just kind of putting in
00:14:06.880 --> 00:14:09.100
reps so the brain and the body is more
00:14:09.100 --> 00:14:10.810
and more comfortable with those
00:14:10.810 --> 00:14:14.139
movements similar to you know the karate
00:14:14.139 --> 00:14:16.180
kid' doing all the wax on stuff just to
00:14:16.180 --> 00:14:18.149
train the muscle patterns so that then
00:14:18.149 --> 00:14:20.279
when you get
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:23.910
the range it's easier to recall that
00:14:23.910 --> 00:14:26.249
pattern and build it into a more usable
00:14:26.249 --> 00:14:30.120
skill so impact Snap is definitely one
00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:32.040
of those good training devices that you
00:14:32.040 --> 00:14:35.610
can use to to train the wrist release
00:14:35.610 --> 00:14:37.439
just be careful with the timing because
00:14:37.439 --> 00:14:42.180
the timing can be counterproductive the
00:14:42.180 --> 00:14:43.829
swing guide I had a question about that
00:14:43.829 --> 00:14:47.040
it's one of the most one it was one of
00:14:47.040 --> 00:14:49.079
the most popular training devices out
00:14:49.079 --> 00:14:51.959
there for a long period of time it can
00:14:51.959 --> 00:14:54.180
be useful if you don't use it the way
00:14:54.180 --> 00:14:56.790
that they recommend you use it on the on
00:14:56.790 --> 00:14:59.579
the box so on the box they basically
00:14:59.579 --> 00:15:01.980
want you to hinge your wrist so that it
00:15:01.980 --> 00:15:03.809
sits up against your forearm just like
00:15:03.809 --> 00:15:06.329
so the problem is when you hinge your
00:15:06.329 --> 00:15:08.370
wrist like that you'll tend to create
00:15:08.370 --> 00:15:10.230
some extension which is going to tend to
00:15:10.230 --> 00:15:12.389
open the clubface and if you keep that
00:15:12.389 --> 00:15:14.519
clubface open long into the downswing
00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:17.939
then that would create an excessively
00:15:17.939 --> 00:15:19.740
steep path from the arms so you'll
00:15:19.740 --> 00:15:22.410
shallow at your body the most common
00:15:22.410 --> 00:15:24.420
ways to shallow out the body would be to
00:15:24.420 --> 00:15:26.639
delay the rotation and go into a bit of
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:28.740
it though the extension so it it really
00:15:28.740 --> 00:15:31.430
can promote more of this kind of
00:15:31.430 --> 00:15:35.250
extension stall pattern and then rapid
00:15:35.250 --> 00:15:37.920
flip down to the bottom but what you can
00:15:37.920 --> 00:15:42.000
do is if you set it up the way that
00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:43.709
you're supposed to but then you make
00:15:43.709 --> 00:15:45.360
sure instead of it hitting your forearm
00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:47.730
that it stays on the outside of your
00:15:47.730 --> 00:15:49.829
forearm so basically you're gonna make
00:15:49.829 --> 00:15:52.920
sure that it is outside of the body here
00:15:52.920 --> 00:15:54.660
all right so it's basically connected
00:15:54.660 --> 00:15:57.420
from here to there and that will help
00:15:57.420 --> 00:16:02.819
encourage the flexion especially on the
00:16:02.819 --> 00:16:04.860
way through so when you go into that
00:16:04.860 --> 00:16:07.740
release or the follow-through side
00:16:07.740 --> 00:16:10.589
making sure that the swing guide is on
00:16:10.589 --> 00:16:12.360
the outside of the forearm
00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:15.529
instead of hitting it right on top the
00:16:15.529 --> 00:16:19.660
radial deviation or hinging the wrist is
00:16:19.660 --> 00:16:22.240
one of the one of the movements that
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:24.190
many amateur golfers tend to struggle
00:16:24.190 --> 00:16:27.430
with when you hinge your wrist
00:16:27.430 --> 00:16:30.490
especially on the way through that tends
00:16:30.490 --> 00:16:32.380
to close the club face it's effectively
00:16:32.380 --> 00:16:35.260
like having the ball up above your feet
00:16:35.260 --> 00:16:37.210
and you can see that that club would be
00:16:37.210 --> 00:16:39.880
pointing ways to the left so many
00:16:39.880 --> 00:16:42.880
golfers amateur golfers anyway use that
00:16:42.880 --> 00:16:45.070
kind of riehen geing down at the bottom
00:16:45.070 --> 00:16:47.380
to help close the club face and when
00:16:47.380 --> 00:16:49.000
they first start working on a better
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:51.280
release they hit it out to the right
00:16:51.280 --> 00:16:54.970
because they instead of getting the
00:16:54.970 --> 00:16:56.530
shaft rotation they close the club face
00:16:56.530 --> 00:17:00.220
they're doing it with that range so the
00:17:00.220 --> 00:17:02.890
training devices that emphasize holding
00:17:02.890 --> 00:17:06.189
that hinge longer can indirectly cause
00:17:06.189 --> 00:17:08.439
you to have more of a scoop or more of a
00:17:08.439 --> 00:17:11.110
roll pattern down at the bottom so
00:17:11.110 --> 00:17:12.819
that's something that you have to be
00:17:12.819 --> 00:17:15.730
careful of if you struggle with clubface
00:17:15.730 --> 00:17:18.189
control and you use more of that roll as
00:17:18.189 --> 00:17:20.050
one of your primary ways for squaring
00:17:20.050 --> 00:17:23.709
the face there's some other devices that
00:17:23.709 --> 00:17:27.370
work on kind of connections so you've
00:17:27.370 --> 00:17:30.490
got like the swing shirt where you it
00:17:30.490 --> 00:17:32.890
basically forces your arms to stay close
00:17:32.890 --> 00:17:35.100
together you've got things like the
00:17:35.100 --> 00:17:39.670
impact ball you've got you know I used
00:17:39.670 --> 00:17:42.370
just a car wash sponge but things that
00:17:42.370 --> 00:17:46.840
keep your arms close together generally
00:17:46.840 --> 00:17:48.820
work on path training and generally work
00:17:48.820 --> 00:17:53.200
on sequencing so many golfers struggle
00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:55.660
with getting a lot of arm pole to create
00:17:55.660 --> 00:17:58.930
their speed or they tend to swing the
00:17:58.930 --> 00:18:00.520
club backward mostly using their
00:18:00.520 --> 00:18:02.890
shoulders instead of using their spine
00:18:02.890 --> 00:18:08.140
so I've said before that virtually every
00:18:08.140 --> 00:18:11.010
swing tip related to the backswing is
00:18:11.010 --> 00:18:13.510
just trying to get you to use your body
00:18:13.510 --> 00:18:16.360
instead of your arms to bring the club
00:18:16.360 --> 00:18:19.150
back or to keep the clubface from
00:18:19.150 --> 00:18:23.080
opening up too much so all the low and
00:18:23.080 --> 00:18:25.390
slow and one-piece takeaway and things
00:18:25.390 --> 00:18:28.300
like the shirt and the impact ball that
00:18:28.300 --> 00:18:30.480
just forces you to route
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:33.179
your body in the backswing as opposed to
00:18:33.179 --> 00:18:36.120
just moving your arms when you just move
00:18:36.120 --> 00:18:38.130
your arms that then becomes harder to
00:18:38.130 --> 00:18:42.210
have really good sequencing in
00:18:42.210 --> 00:18:44.600
transition so I put those in more of a
00:18:44.600 --> 00:18:48.990
how we create speed category now I've
00:18:48.990 --> 00:18:52.470
got a video on the the impact wall and
00:18:52.470 --> 00:18:55.350
why I prefer like softer sponges and
00:18:55.350 --> 00:18:57.240
things like that
00:18:57.240 --> 00:18:59.250
is because in the follow-through those
00:18:59.250 --> 00:19:00.780
arms should be getting closer together
00:19:00.780 --> 00:19:03.780
so if you have a device that's too firm
00:19:03.780 --> 00:19:07.040
in between your forearms it will tend to
00:19:07.040 --> 00:19:09.480
prevent you from getting that trail arm
00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:11.970
to fully straighten or it will tend to
00:19:11.970 --> 00:19:14.880
cause your upper body to lunge too far
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:17.340
forward in order to get the club to
00:19:17.340 --> 00:19:20.160
swing on a good path without letting
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:22.610
those arms get closer together so
00:19:22.610 --> 00:19:26.970
there's a lot of training aids that seem
00:19:26.970 --> 00:19:29.280
like a good idea on paper and ultimately
00:19:29.280 --> 00:19:32.190
help you with one specific aspect but if
00:19:32.190 --> 00:19:33.630
you take it all the way through the
00:19:33.630 --> 00:19:36.450
whole swing it messes up another area
00:19:36.450 --> 00:19:37.830
and that's one of the cases where the
00:19:37.830 --> 00:19:39.000
impact ball helps you with your
00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:41.360
backswing and helps you with your
00:19:41.360 --> 00:19:45.270
transition but it can be a problem for
00:19:45.270 --> 00:19:48.929
the release which many golfers struggle
00:19:48.929 --> 00:19:51.360
with so I'm not a huge fan of that one I
00:19:51.360 --> 00:19:53.130
would prefer using something softer like
00:19:53.130 --> 00:19:57.419
a sponge I'll see a couple questions
00:19:57.419 --> 00:20:00.750
coming in Martin Chuck's five and seven
00:20:00.750 --> 00:20:03.900
irons of pee with the no leading wedge
00:20:03.900 --> 00:20:05.970
do you mean the Tour striker um the
00:20:05.970 --> 00:20:09.419
problem with the Tour striker is so if
00:20:09.419 --> 00:20:10.650
you haven't seen it the Tour striker
00:20:10.650 --> 00:20:12.990
instead of the golfer or the golf club
00:20:12.990 --> 00:20:15.480
being like this the leading edge is
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:17.370
basically up here and then it has a
00:20:17.370 --> 00:20:20.070
curved bottom so in theory its design is
00:20:20.070 --> 00:20:21.870
to get you to excessively lean the
00:20:21.870 --> 00:20:25.590
chef's now the problem is it has so much
00:20:25.590 --> 00:20:26.160
bounce
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:30.540
they used the sole is fairly round that
00:20:30.540 --> 00:20:33.360
you can actually scoop it well enough to
00:20:33.360 --> 00:20:35.460
get the ball in the air even if you
00:20:35.460 --> 00:20:39.299
don't use it properly so I haven't seen
00:20:39.299 --> 00:20:41.240
a huge carryover from
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:45.560
those devices I like Martin's other
00:20:45.560 --> 00:20:48.960
training aid the educator a whole lot
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:49.410
better
00:20:49.410 --> 00:20:53.070
so I'm I'd give kind of a caution I
00:20:53.070 --> 00:20:54.620
think there's better stuff to then
00:20:54.620 --> 00:20:59.340
Martin Chuck's tour striker in fact that
00:20:59.340 --> 00:21:00.570
brings one of the questions was about
00:21:00.570 --> 00:21:04.890
the DST compressor so the the DST
00:21:04.890 --> 00:21:08.150
compressor if you haven't seen it is a
00:21:08.150 --> 00:21:11.220
curved shaft so instead of the club
00:21:11.220 --> 00:21:13.170
going straight it kind of curves like
00:21:13.170 --> 00:21:17.520
this so essentially it forces it forces
00:21:17.520 --> 00:21:19.380
you to get your hands ahead which is one
00:21:19.380 --> 00:21:22.080
of the things that most amateur golfers
00:21:22.080 --> 00:21:24.060
struggle with so it just gives you the
00:21:24.060 --> 00:21:26.330
experience of when your hands are ahead
00:21:26.330 --> 00:21:28.970
how would you have the clubface square
00:21:28.970 --> 00:21:36.780
and it it definitely it definitely helps
00:21:36.780 --> 00:21:38.820
with shallowing the club if you have
00:21:38.820 --> 00:21:40.800
more of an early arm action if you have
00:21:40.800 --> 00:21:43.110
more of kind of a cast pattern you'll
00:21:43.110 --> 00:21:46.020
hit the ball just terribly the thing
00:21:46.020 --> 00:21:47.580
that it doesn't really help with is it
00:21:47.580 --> 00:21:50.490
doesn't really help prevent a flip so if
00:21:50.490 --> 00:21:53.580
your main struggle is more of clubface
00:21:53.580 --> 00:21:58.500
control with a flip then mmm I think
00:21:58.500 --> 00:22:00.390
they're better training aids but if your
00:22:00.390 --> 00:22:03.090
main goal is getting used to the hands
00:22:03.090 --> 00:22:06.030
forward or shallowing in the transition
00:22:06.030 --> 00:22:08.130
I think it's a I think it's a pretty
00:22:08.130 --> 00:22:09.540
good one I've got a fair number of
00:22:09.540 --> 00:22:12.990
students who like it I would use it
00:22:12.990 --> 00:22:15.810
sparingly so I'd use it as just kind of
00:22:15.810 --> 00:22:18.120
like the first five or ten minutes of a
00:22:18.120 --> 00:22:21.330
warm-up session or of your warm-up
00:22:21.330 --> 00:22:22.680
before getting into some mechanic
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:27.800
mechanical practice but I wouldn't I
00:22:27.800 --> 00:22:30.690
wouldn't overdo it with that the because
00:22:30.690 --> 00:22:32.700
it doesn't I think it can actually
00:22:32.700 --> 00:22:35.130
encourage a little bit of a flip but I
00:22:35.130 --> 00:22:37.290
don't have enough data points on that
00:22:37.290 --> 00:22:42.470
one to to say 100% I see a couple uh a
00:22:42.470 --> 00:22:47.430
couple questions coming in Sharon's
00:22:47.430 --> 00:22:49.500
asking about the sure set I'm actually
00:22:49.500 --> 00:22:53.420
not quite sure about the sure set
00:22:53.420 --> 00:22:59.640
what if you can post the link of the
00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:01.320
short set and I'll I'll click on it real
00:23:01.320 --> 00:23:02.640
quick and check it out
00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:05.490
George is asking about boards and
00:23:05.490 --> 00:23:07.650
plastic to place behind the ball to
00:23:07.650 --> 00:23:09.570
promote divot in front of all yeah when
00:23:09.570 --> 00:23:12.120
you're practicing indoors or when you're
00:23:12.120 --> 00:23:14.370
practicing in the winter low point
00:23:14.370 --> 00:23:17.370
control often is more challenging to pay
00:23:17.370 --> 00:23:18.510
attention to when you're training on a
00:23:18.510 --> 00:23:21.720
mat right so there are things like the
00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:25.080
fat plate there are you know you can
00:23:25.080 --> 00:23:28.500
take a credit old credit card or room
00:23:28.500 --> 00:23:30.060
key and place it behind the golf ball
00:23:30.060 --> 00:23:32.280
you can place a towel those things can
00:23:32.280 --> 00:23:34.350
help you be more aware of low point
00:23:34.350 --> 00:23:38.550
control when because the mat there you
00:23:38.550 --> 00:23:41.190
can YouTube high-speed video of hitting
00:23:41.190 --> 00:23:43.950
it fat on a mat and you'll see that if
00:23:43.950 --> 00:23:45.570
you hit behind the ball the ball will
00:23:45.570 --> 00:23:47.400
pop up and you'll hit it right in the
00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:49.320
middle of the club you'll feel like
00:23:49.320 --> 00:23:50.940
you've hit a good shot but if you had
00:23:50.940 --> 00:23:52.320
done that off grass it would have been a
00:23:52.320 --> 00:23:56.610
poor shot so I do like having some type
00:23:56.610 --> 00:23:58.440
of feedback if you're working on low
00:23:58.440 --> 00:24:01.830
point control so you'll see I'm always
00:24:01.830 --> 00:24:03.300
going to come back to what skill are you
00:24:03.300 --> 00:24:07.800
trying to Train and low point control is
00:24:07.800 --> 00:24:09.420
one of the most important factors when
00:24:09.420 --> 00:24:11.130
it comes to making solid contact with
00:24:11.130 --> 00:24:14.790
the irons and solid contact good iron
00:24:14.790 --> 00:24:16.860
play is one of the fastest ways to lower
00:24:16.860 --> 00:24:20.850
your scores so I would say that having
00:24:20.850 --> 00:24:23.180
something when you're practicing to just
00:24:23.180 --> 00:24:25.290
make sure that you don't get too sloppy
00:24:25.290 --> 00:24:27.120
with your low point control is a really
00:24:27.120 --> 00:24:31.860
good idea Chris is asking if you have to
00:24:31.860 --> 00:24:33.450
consolidate the training ideas can you
00:24:33.450 --> 00:24:35.490
pick three or four training aids which
00:24:35.490 --> 00:24:38.760
would be great for members of the gym to
00:24:38.760 --> 00:24:42.020
the work and practice members who come
00:24:42.020 --> 00:24:45.060
just and swing the orange whip in golf
00:24:45.060 --> 00:24:47.300
club it would be great to hear your
00:24:47.300 --> 00:24:51.420
recommendations for a gym with with 1200
00:24:51.420 --> 00:24:53.340
members top three the ones you talked
00:24:53.340 --> 00:24:56.970
about here so I do like I would get a
00:24:56.970 --> 00:24:59.760
few of the the impact snap you know it's
00:24:59.760 --> 00:25:03.389
not really a I wouldn't say that it's a
00:25:03.389 --> 00:25:05.519
you know a big workout but you could if
00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:06.959
you're doing golf fitness you could
00:25:06.959 --> 00:25:09.719
throw it into part of your cooldown it
00:25:09.719 --> 00:25:11.669
would just really help or in between
00:25:11.669 --> 00:25:13.859
sets or things like that almost like an
00:25:13.859 --> 00:25:19.139
active recovery period I do like the the
00:25:19.139 --> 00:25:22.109
orange whip or the SuperSpeed they're
00:25:22.109 --> 00:25:23.789
slightly different I think the orange
00:25:23.789 --> 00:25:26.820
whip is a little bit more Universal
00:25:26.820 --> 00:25:30.929
super speed you have to be a little
00:25:30.929 --> 00:25:33.599
careful just because you will reinforce
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:36.690
whatever your powder power program is so
00:25:36.690 --> 00:25:38.849
if you are more of an armed pool you
00:25:38.849 --> 00:25:41.429
will typically strengthen your arm pull
00:25:41.429 --> 00:25:43.440
pattern if you are more of like an early
00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:46.289
extender jumper you will reinforce your
00:25:46.289 --> 00:25:48.269
early ascender jumper pattern so you
00:25:48.269 --> 00:25:50.009
want to be careful with that where the
00:25:50.009 --> 00:25:53.009
orange whip I tend to find improves and
00:25:53.009 --> 00:25:55.649
balances kind of whether you're swinging
00:25:55.649 --> 00:25:57.149
more from your legs or more from your
00:25:57.149 --> 00:25:59.999
core and more from your upper body I do
00:25:59.999 --> 00:26:05.940
like the the DST compressor and I use an
00:26:05.940 --> 00:26:08.369
impact bag a lot but I don't use it
00:26:08.369 --> 00:26:10.649
though again the way that it's described
00:26:10.649 --> 00:26:12.479
on the package like I don't use it to
00:26:12.479 --> 00:26:15.809
just swing and hit it as if you were
00:26:15.809 --> 00:26:18.299
hitting a golf ball I'll put it at
00:26:18.299 --> 00:26:21.299
specific times to almost stop you mid
00:26:21.299 --> 00:26:23.669
movement so that you can see where you
00:26:23.669 --> 00:26:26.039
are and what you're doing so if I had to
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:28.619
pick three those would probably be three
00:26:28.619 --> 00:26:33.959
that I've been working on Golden Gate is
00:26:33.959 --> 00:26:35.849
asking if you have any time do you have
00:26:35.849 --> 00:26:37.859
any PGA Tour data on the amount or
00:26:37.859 --> 00:26:40.529
degrees of hing down on a 5-iron
00:26:40.529 --> 00:26:43.349
some say sweep but some hit down
00:26:43.349 --> 00:26:49.619
slightly Oh before I jump to that I see
00:26:49.619 --> 00:26:52.409
Jim saying asking about the orange whip
00:26:52.409 --> 00:26:55.169
wedge Stanley likes it handily endorsed
00:26:55.169 --> 00:26:57.989
it and created it I do have one and I
00:26:57.989 --> 00:27:01.369
think it's really smart now here's the I
00:27:01.369 --> 00:27:03.989
know two different golf instructors who
00:27:03.989 --> 00:27:06.329
were both very highly respected for
00:27:06.329 --> 00:27:08.279
their short game teaching and they use
00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:11.819
it totally differently they both use the
00:27:11.819 --> 00:27:14.279
product one tries to
00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:16.200
load it and unloaded as fast as they can
00:27:16.200 --> 00:27:17.940
and the other one tries to swing it with
00:27:17.940 --> 00:27:20.429
very little loading but I think that it
00:27:20.429 --> 00:27:23.609
helps with feeling the clubhead and with
00:27:23.609 --> 00:27:25.739
a little bit more of a cast style
00:27:25.739 --> 00:27:28.559
sequence so whether you do it
00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:30.899
aggressively or or a little bit more
00:27:30.899 --> 00:27:33.479
passively I still think it it's very
00:27:33.479 --> 00:27:36.659
helpful for communicating waiting at the
00:27:36.659 --> 00:27:38.909
top of the swing instead of a really big
00:27:38.909 --> 00:27:41.070
pole and many golfers who struggle with
00:27:41.070 --> 00:27:43.710
like the chip hips or hitting him really
00:27:43.710 --> 00:27:47.159
fat you know really bad miss patterns
00:27:47.159 --> 00:27:49.200
pull too hard on the on the grip in
00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:50.999
order to try to move it forward and they
00:27:50.999 --> 00:27:53.309
do really well with the orange which
00:27:53.309 --> 00:27:58.649
orange whip wedge sorry so PGA Tour data
00:27:58.649 --> 00:28:00.359
on the amount of degrees of came down on
00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:04.729
a 5-iron its problem I I don't have
00:28:04.729 --> 00:28:07.369
extensive data on that I could probably
00:28:07.369 --> 00:28:09.960
talk to some of my buddies and find it
00:28:09.960 --> 00:28:12.059
all the time my head I'm gonna say
00:28:12.059 --> 00:28:14.190
somewhere around three maybe four
00:28:14.190 --> 00:28:17.119
degrees down is probably pretty close
00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:20.639
the the sweep first hit down is a little
00:28:20.639 --> 00:28:23.190
tricky because what when some people
00:28:23.190 --> 00:28:25.409
feel sweeping they'll get that four
00:28:25.409 --> 00:28:27.929
degrees forward and oftentimes when
00:28:27.929 --> 00:28:30.719
golfers try to hit down they do it with
00:28:30.719 --> 00:28:33.719
more of a forward lunge and then end up
00:28:33.719 --> 00:28:36.690
scooping and they don't hit down as much
00:28:36.690 --> 00:28:39.509
as the the phrase I like is trying to
00:28:39.509 --> 00:28:41.669
hit forward of the golf ball so working
00:28:41.669 --> 00:28:43.799
on where the club brushes the ground if
00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:46.289
you have it brushing slightly ahead of
00:28:46.289 --> 00:28:48.809
the golf ball so let's say from the
00:28:48.809 --> 00:28:50.789
middle of the golf ball onward then
00:28:50.789 --> 00:28:53.129
you're going to hit down at least a
00:28:53.129 --> 00:28:55.070
couple degrees which is gonna be
00:28:55.070 --> 00:28:57.269
depending on your club head speed all
00:28:57.269 --> 00:28:59.489
you really need
00:28:59.489 --> 00:29:03.479
Kevin's asking slightly off topic how do
00:29:03.479 --> 00:29:05.639
you get heavyset guys big-chested
00:29:05.639 --> 00:29:08.309
perhaps to get their right arm into
00:29:08.309 --> 00:29:10.499
external rotation P four to six or
00:29:10.499 --> 00:29:12.359
better said lay the shaft down
00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:17.309
shallowing honestly I usually do it more
00:29:17.309 --> 00:29:22.440
with the lead arm it is it's challenging
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:26.009
to have that much mass in the way of
00:29:26.009 --> 00:29:26.800
where
00:29:26.800 --> 00:29:30.700
your right shoulder needs to go so what
00:29:30.700 --> 00:29:32.710
I would what I've seen you know from
00:29:32.710 --> 00:29:35.830
some of the the bigger guys on tour
00:29:35.830 --> 00:29:37.950
you'll tend to see almost like a
00:29:37.950 --> 00:29:41.080
relaxation of the grip in transition
00:29:41.080 --> 00:29:43.000
you'll see a little bit of kind of
00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:46.300
spacing happen so that that right arm
00:29:46.300 --> 00:29:48.880
can essentially get out of the way but
00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:50.080
the shaft is still getting into a
00:29:50.080 --> 00:29:52.870
shallower position so I do a lot I do a
00:29:52.870 --> 00:29:55.300
lot of lead arm training with some of my
00:29:55.300 --> 00:30:00.820
bigger guys Oh William Brahm I hope you
00:30:00.820 --> 00:30:02.550
at least mentioned my use of the Pels
00:30:02.550 --> 00:30:05.170
learning aids I'm not on his payroll
00:30:05.170 --> 00:30:08.320
they almost bypass the need for focus
00:30:08.320 --> 00:30:10.960
because the focus is so immediate in
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:15.490
drastic idea so it's different skills
00:30:15.490 --> 00:30:18.550
when we're getting into putting than the
00:30:18.550 --> 00:30:20.320
full swing for putting the three main
00:30:20.320 --> 00:30:23.820
skills are starting a ball on line
00:30:23.820 --> 00:30:27.250
controlling distance and with tempo and
00:30:27.250 --> 00:30:30.220
length of Swing and reading a green so
00:30:30.220 --> 00:30:33.520
for reading a green I will use things
00:30:33.520 --> 00:30:36.700
like the perfect putter with the perfect
00:30:36.700 --> 00:30:38.230
putter you have to recognize that it
00:30:38.230 --> 00:30:40.540
gets the ball rolling a little faster
00:30:40.540 --> 00:30:43.570
than you would off the putter so while
00:30:43.570 --> 00:30:47.050
it rolls a perfect putt it does not show
00:30:47.050 --> 00:30:49.210
the accurate break of what the putt
00:30:49.210 --> 00:30:51.460
would be if you hit it with a putter it
00:30:51.460 --> 00:30:53.710
will show the accurate break of maybe if
00:30:53.710 --> 00:30:56.770
you had the device a foot behind where
00:30:56.770 --> 00:30:59.200
you're actually putting from but that
00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:02.860
can help with green reading I like to
00:31:02.860 --> 00:31:06.730
use digital levels and the the aim point
00:31:06.730 --> 00:31:11.170
lie board to help golfers learn how to
00:31:11.170 --> 00:31:14.290
feel slope with their feet and then as
00:31:14.290 --> 00:31:18.150
far as start line their their devices
00:31:18.150 --> 00:31:20.860
you know that can help with ball rolling
00:31:20.860 --> 00:31:24.930
end over end you can use gates tees
00:31:24.930 --> 00:31:29.650
whether it's the the Pels forget the
00:31:29.650 --> 00:31:31.150
name of it but the little triangle thing
00:31:31.150 --> 00:31:33.340
with the marbles I think is great all
00:31:33.340 --> 00:31:35.010
those things that force you into
00:31:35.010 --> 00:31:37.680
committing to a start line
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:39.600
work really well one of the simplest
00:31:39.600 --> 00:31:41.400
ones is you take a dime and you place it
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:44.220
a little more than two feet in front of
00:31:44.220 --> 00:31:46.950
the golf ball a dime place that two feet
00:31:46.950 --> 00:31:48.900
in front of the golf ball has the same
00:31:48.900 --> 00:31:51.630
geometry of the hole at about ten feet
00:31:51.630 --> 00:31:55.080
so if you can roll a ball over a dime
00:31:55.080 --> 00:31:57.780
then you can basically make a straight
00:31:57.780 --> 00:32:00.630
ten footer at least your alignment and
00:32:00.630 --> 00:32:02.520
start line says that you can make it and
00:32:02.520 --> 00:32:05.970
then as far as speed control I do like
00:32:05.970 --> 00:32:10.530
to use metronomes and and tees or things
00:32:10.530 --> 00:32:12.960
like the the Vizio mat just to work on
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:17.550
kind of pacing and work on controlling
00:32:17.550 --> 00:32:20.040
the length of the swing so with putting
00:32:20.040 --> 00:32:23.190
I would say there's a couple different
00:32:23.190 --> 00:32:25.050
ways you can approach distance control
00:32:25.050 --> 00:32:26.580
which is one of the more challenging
00:32:26.580 --> 00:32:30.870
skills I you can approach distance
00:32:30.870 --> 00:32:33.840
control by either creating one baseline
00:32:33.840 --> 00:32:36.300
putting stroke and then like let's say
00:32:36.300 --> 00:32:39.600
I'm gonna take the putter back to just
00:32:39.600 --> 00:32:42.270
outside my own let's say six inches
00:32:42.270 --> 00:32:43.530
outside my foot I'm gonna take it back
00:32:43.530 --> 00:32:45.180
to six inches outside my foot and I'm
00:32:45.180 --> 00:32:46.740
gonna try to hit it the same distance
00:32:46.740 --> 00:32:50.070
every single time I can place tees on
00:32:50.070 --> 00:32:52.800
the ground or I can use the metronome to
00:32:52.800 --> 00:32:55.950
help make sure that my putting tempo is
00:32:55.950 --> 00:32:58.140
pretty consistent and then if I take it
00:32:58.140 --> 00:33:00.630
back the same length swing I should be
00:33:00.630 --> 00:33:03.240
able to get it to stop within about a
00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:05.940
foot to let's say two feet depending on
00:33:05.940 --> 00:33:10.590
how far that putt is well then if I have
00:33:10.590 --> 00:33:12.390
this baseline and I know about how far
00:33:12.390 --> 00:33:15.570
that goes I can go a little shorter for
00:33:15.570 --> 00:33:17.280
short putts and a little longer for long
00:33:17.280 --> 00:33:19.290
putts and I can use that as my
00:33:19.290 --> 00:33:21.540
calibration whenever I go to a new
00:33:21.540 --> 00:33:25.890
course so again for putting there's lots
00:33:25.890 --> 00:33:28.230
of devices to work on start line there's
00:33:28.230 --> 00:33:33.120
lots of devices to help with path but
00:33:33.120 --> 00:33:37.620
really path is secondary to face control
00:33:37.620 --> 00:33:40.560
in putting so if you're if you can
00:33:40.560 --> 00:33:42.930
control the face to start it online you
00:33:42.930 --> 00:33:44.730
can control your tempo to roll it the
00:33:44.730 --> 00:33:46.260
distance you want and you can read
00:33:46.260 --> 00:33:50.060
greens you can be a really good putter
00:33:50.299 --> 00:33:54.090
okay I had one other question from Jim
00:33:54.090 --> 00:33:57.659
who I see signed on he was asking about
00:33:57.659 --> 00:34:01.980
and this is a this is a little separate
00:34:01.980 --> 00:34:05.610
from the training aid discussion I
00:34:05.610 --> 00:34:07.980
covered most of the training aids on the
00:34:07.980 --> 00:34:10.829
list but if you have any that I didn't
00:34:10.829 --> 00:34:13.260
cover just type them in the chat box
00:34:13.260 --> 00:34:16.589
right now his question was more on like
00:34:16.589 --> 00:34:18.210
power source training and sequencing
00:34:18.210 --> 00:34:21.379
training so he was asking about left arm
00:34:21.379 --> 00:34:24.750
adduction in transition followed by
00:34:24.750 --> 00:34:27.510
abduction through the ball it creates a
00:34:27.510 --> 00:34:29.879
little bit of a shoulder load loading
00:34:29.879 --> 00:34:33.089
swing a slingshot it's helpful for
00:34:33.089 --> 00:34:37.079
getting the low point forward but it's
00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:38.909
really helpful for getting the arkwide
00:34:38.909 --> 00:34:41.700
in the follow-through if you do the
00:34:41.700 --> 00:34:45.359
opposite or if you disconnect too soon
00:34:45.359 --> 00:34:47.700
then what I'll typically happen is the
00:34:47.700 --> 00:34:49.980
club will pass your chest too early and
00:34:49.980 --> 00:34:52.470
once the club passes your chest you're
00:34:52.470 --> 00:34:54.629
gonna have to bend your arms in order to
00:34:54.629 --> 00:34:58.740
absorb the speed so this question was
00:34:58.740 --> 00:35:00.599
basically what promotes this is it a
00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:02.430
natural movement of the body or is it
00:35:02.430 --> 00:35:05.490
something the arms should do if the arms
00:35:05.490 --> 00:35:09.450
are soft and relaxed then if my body
00:35:09.450 --> 00:35:12.630
turns into my arm that's gonna load my
00:35:12.630 --> 00:35:15.720
shoulder I never want my golfers
00:35:15.720 --> 00:35:18.660
thinking of kind of pulling away from
00:35:18.660 --> 00:35:21.380
the target there was a there was a
00:35:21.380 --> 00:35:23.849
phrase that I loved when I heard a
00:35:23.849 --> 00:35:27.540
javelin throw or a javelin coach talk
00:35:27.540 --> 00:35:29.849
about teaching javelin throw and that
00:35:29.849 --> 00:35:32.460
basically you run away from the drab
00:35:32.460 --> 00:35:34.109
javelin you don't pull it back
00:35:34.109 --> 00:35:35.880
you always want energy moving in the
00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:37.380
direction of the target but in order to
00:35:37.380 --> 00:35:39.859
fire muscles you need to stretch them so
00:35:39.859 --> 00:35:43.560
instead of pulling the javelin back and
00:35:43.560 --> 00:35:46.260
then letting it go you keep that javelin
00:35:46.260 --> 00:35:48.119
in space and you move your shoulder away
00:35:48.119 --> 00:35:50.940
from it faster and then let it go so
00:35:50.940 --> 00:35:52.410
you've got energy always moving in the
00:35:52.410 --> 00:35:54.930
direction of the target so even though
00:35:54.930 --> 00:35:57.089
I'm going to create this load of my
00:35:57.089 --> 00:35:59.119
shoulder it's not because I'm
00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:01.069
my shoulder back it's because I have
00:36:01.069 --> 00:36:03.109
good sequencing in my lower body is
00:36:03.109 --> 00:36:06.049
turning into the shoulder faster than my
00:36:06.049 --> 00:36:08.119
arm is pulling away from it and that
00:36:08.119 --> 00:36:10.670
loads the stretch in a more productive
00:36:10.670 --> 00:36:13.490
way or a more powerful way the
00:36:13.490 --> 00:36:15.920
consequences of not doing it correctly
00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:19.910
is if you don't load into the shoulder
00:36:19.910 --> 00:36:22.970
it means that your sequencing is off it
00:36:22.970 --> 00:36:24.680
means that you're firing more your
00:36:24.680 --> 00:36:27.829
shoulders first and then your core would
00:36:27.829 --> 00:36:30.619
have to basically catch up or stabilize
00:36:30.619 --> 00:36:33.950
it so it could again potentially zap you
00:36:33.950 --> 00:36:37.839
of some power and it could potentially
00:36:37.839 --> 00:36:40.779
that would be the it could potentially
00:36:40.779 --> 00:36:42.950
affect you with the driver because it
00:36:42.950 --> 00:36:44.960
would prevent you from getting the wide
00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:47.869
point later and later it would tend to
00:36:47.869 --> 00:36:49.339
cause your right arm to have to
00:36:49.339 --> 00:36:51.890
straighten a little bit too soon which
00:36:51.890 --> 00:36:54.170
would tend your body to cause your body
00:36:54.170 --> 00:36:57.710
to stall a little bit so now the thing
00:36:57.710 --> 00:37:01.249
that it could challenge you with is if
00:37:01.249 --> 00:37:03.200
you aren't really comfortable getting
00:37:03.200 --> 00:37:05.450
shaft rotation or if you're not really
00:37:05.450 --> 00:37:07.420
comfortable powering it with your body
00:37:07.420 --> 00:37:11.900
then it could cause you to almost have
00:37:11.900 --> 00:37:13.700
the opposite effect of good sequencing
00:37:13.700 --> 00:37:16.400
okay it could cause you to get out of
00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:18.499
position and out of timing and it could
00:37:18.499 --> 00:37:19.999
prevent you from getting the clubface
00:37:19.999 --> 00:37:22.519
too square especially if you get more of
00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:24.440
your squaring from straightening that
00:37:24.440 --> 00:37:28.009
trail arm instead of just rotating the
00:37:28.009 --> 00:37:30.769
club shaft with the forearms as your
00:37:30.769 --> 00:37:36.440
body is powering it what about let's see
00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:38.589
you've got a couple other questions
00:37:38.589 --> 00:37:42.230
Golden Gate coming in do you believe in
00:37:42.230 --> 00:37:45.230
chunking to get swing in memory we're
00:37:45.230 --> 00:37:48.650
taking at least 200 the 300 swings for a
00:37:48.650 --> 00:37:51.230
new technique your thought is the winter
00:37:51.230 --> 00:37:54.140
a good time for repetition practice yes
00:37:54.140 --> 00:37:57.380
I I'm absolutely a big fan of chunking
00:37:57.380 --> 00:38:01.160
I'll I'll tell my students that the
00:38:01.160 --> 00:38:03.589
research I've seen shows that you would
00:38:03.589 --> 00:38:06.289
your goal is frequency not necessarily
00:38:06.289 --> 00:38:07.350
duration so
00:38:07.350 --> 00:38:10.320
if you're doing ten minutes five times a
00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:12.060
day that's probably better than doing
00:38:12.060 --> 00:38:15.840
two hours once a day so if you're if
00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:18.510
you're able to you know even do
00:38:18.510 --> 00:38:20.790
slow-motion practice or a little bit at
00:38:20.790 --> 00:38:21.560
home
00:38:21.560 --> 00:38:24.150
I'll give them toothbrush drills so
00:38:24.150 --> 00:38:26.430
things that you can work on in the
00:38:26.430 --> 00:38:29.430
morning or in the evening standing in
00:38:29.430 --> 00:38:31.350
the elevator you know we've all seen
00:38:31.350 --> 00:38:33.000
that PGA Tour commercial where people
00:38:33.000 --> 00:38:34.350
are practicing their swing at all
00:38:34.350 --> 00:38:36.570
different points that can be really
00:38:36.570 --> 00:38:40.170
useful if you have a hitting station
00:38:40.170 --> 00:38:42.480
either in your basement or garage doing
00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:46.860
shorter sets is a is something that'll
00:38:46.860 --> 00:38:54.750
usually speed up the learning so but as
00:38:54.750 --> 00:38:57.180
far as taking at least 200 to 300 swings
00:38:57.180 --> 00:39:01.100
it it depends on how good your
00:39:01.100 --> 00:39:05.850
vocabulary is so basically the better
00:39:05.850 --> 00:39:08.790
your body awareness the better your
00:39:08.790 --> 00:39:12.630
understanding of the different phases of
00:39:12.630 --> 00:39:15.060
your swing so if you understand your
00:39:15.060 --> 00:39:17.430
release you understand your transition
00:39:17.430 --> 00:39:20.070
you'll be able to make swings a whole
00:39:20.070 --> 00:39:22.980
lot or swing changes a lot faster than
00:39:22.980 --> 00:39:26.850
someone who does not so if you're early
00:39:26.850 --> 00:39:28.740
in the learning stages it may even be
00:39:28.740 --> 00:39:30.900
more than that maybe more like 500 to a
00:39:30.900 --> 00:39:35.280
thousand so you know essentially like 10
00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:39.570
buckets of balls or so but if you if you
00:39:39.570 --> 00:39:42.360
have a solid understanding of your stock
00:39:42.360 --> 00:39:44.730
swing I think you can be less than that
00:39:44.730 --> 00:39:46.860
I think it could be closer to the you
00:39:46.860 --> 00:39:51.060
know 2 to 3 buckets but usually it's not
00:39:51.060 --> 00:39:52.710
gonna happen overnight you are gonna
00:39:52.710 --> 00:39:54.840
have to put in some practice before
00:39:54.840 --> 00:39:57.990
it'll even show up in flashes on the
00:39:57.990 --> 00:40:00.120
course
00:40:00.120 --> 00:40:02.640
chrisp admins asking what about trades
00:40:02.640 --> 00:40:05.610
for neural training or is that another
00:40:05.610 --> 00:40:09.650
episode you know that's that's probably
00:40:09.650 --> 00:40:12.870
another episode there's the one of the
00:40:12.870 --> 00:40:16.500
things that I will pass on there's
00:40:16.500 --> 00:40:18.870
there's a couple different
00:40:18.870 --> 00:40:20.790
devices out there like there's the halo
00:40:20.790 --> 00:40:25.050
there's Debbie cruises that uses the
00:40:25.050 --> 00:40:25.680
muse
00:40:25.680 --> 00:40:28.920
there's the focus band one of the things
00:40:28.920 --> 00:40:30.960
that I've learned from looking in that
00:40:30.960 --> 00:40:34.470
space is that there's two different
00:40:34.470 --> 00:40:36.030
schools one teaches focus and the other
00:40:36.030 --> 00:40:40.050
teaches relaxation relaxation is best
00:40:40.050 --> 00:40:43.230
done in between shots and focus is best
00:40:43.230 --> 00:40:45.810
done in the play box or over the ball so
00:40:45.810 --> 00:40:48.660
they teach slightly different skills you
00:40:48.660 --> 00:40:51.270
just have to know which it is that you
00:40:51.270 --> 00:40:54.060
need to be able to apply but trying to
00:40:54.060 --> 00:40:56.760
get in a really mellow relaxed state
00:40:56.760 --> 00:40:59.700
over the ball is not the same thing as
00:40:59.700 --> 00:41:02.760
being focused so I'm a little cautious
00:41:02.760 --> 00:41:06.390
on using things like the focus band over
00:41:06.390 --> 00:41:08.220
the ball I think the focus man trains a
00:41:08.220 --> 00:41:11.760
great skill but it's not the skill you
00:41:11.760 --> 00:41:15.030
would want in the state of when you're
00:41:15.030 --> 00:41:19.410
actually executing the shot the swing
00:41:19.410 --> 00:41:20.910
my guess is actually about a swing
00:41:20.910 --> 00:41:23.280
extender yes he you send the email swing
00:41:23.280 --> 00:41:25.740
extender is this plastic device that
00:41:25.740 --> 00:41:29.100
goes in between here basically it
00:41:29.100 --> 00:41:31.530
prevents you from over bending your arm
00:41:31.530 --> 00:41:36.300
on the backswing but I have have seen it
00:41:36.300 --> 00:41:39.300
used successfully in trying to Train
00:41:39.300 --> 00:41:43.170
keeping the bend during the down swing
00:41:43.170 --> 00:41:46.950
the key the key is the down the line a
00:41:46.950 --> 00:41:48.570
lot of golfers who would work on that
00:41:48.570 --> 00:41:51.690
would still get the club too far out in
00:41:51.690 --> 00:41:53.340
front of them so you'd have to make sure
00:41:53.340 --> 00:41:55.020
that you're getting some of the
00:41:55.020 --> 00:41:56.880
shallowing as you're keeping that Bend
00:41:56.880 --> 00:41:59.280
and that shallowing would come more from
00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:02.330
the external rotation or from the lead
00:42:02.330 --> 00:42:06.000
lead form rotation instead of actively
00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:11.790
from the shoulder but that can be that
00:42:11.790 --> 00:42:13.110
can be useful if that's your main
00:42:13.110 --> 00:42:15.210
barrier like let's say you're working on
00:42:15.210 --> 00:42:17.580
sequencing and you recognize you see it
00:42:17.580 --> 00:42:19.890
on video you see that your main barrier
00:42:19.890 --> 00:42:21.750
to sequencing is that right arm tends to
00:42:21.750 --> 00:42:24.150
get straight too soon then doing
00:42:24.150 --> 00:42:26.850
something to actively prevent you from
00:42:26.850 --> 00:42:28.500
straightening it too soon will help
00:42:28.500 --> 00:42:31.320
encourage the body to lead longer and
00:42:31.320 --> 00:42:31.600
longer
00:42:31.600 --> 00:42:33.670
in the downswing so that's the smart way
00:42:33.670 --> 00:42:38.550
to use the training aids is to use it to
00:42:38.550 --> 00:42:41.410
directly affect one skill don't just use
00:42:41.410 --> 00:42:43.390
it because you think that it's the right
00:42:43.390 --> 00:42:45.780
thing to do
00:42:45.780 --> 00:42:49.540
all right how about the pitch grip I
00:42:49.540 --> 00:42:54.250
don't don't know what the pitch grip is
00:42:54.250 --> 00:42:57.850
so shoot me an email about that one and
00:42:57.850 --> 00:42:59.250
I'll take a look at it
00:42:59.250 --> 00:43:02.260
chris is asking about the halo I haven't
00:43:02.260 --> 00:43:04.870
used the halo myself one of my
00:43:04.870 --> 00:43:07.240
colleagues does speak highly of it but I
00:43:07.240 --> 00:43:09.130
have yet to get my hands on one and try
00:43:09.130 --> 00:43:13.120
one I've tried the muse and I like it
00:43:13.120 --> 00:43:15.610
but I have yet to try the halo on that
00:43:15.610 --> 00:43:22.150
side any aids for the release yes the
00:43:22.150 --> 00:43:23.830
well the impact snap helps the release
00:43:23.830 --> 00:43:28.390
again if you're using it correctly the
00:43:28.390 --> 00:43:33.790
educator works on the release I my
00:43:33.790 --> 00:43:35.740
favorite way to train the releases with
00:43:35.740 --> 00:43:39.970
the single arm drills and just basically
00:43:39.970 --> 00:43:42.430
being a little bit more aware of the
00:43:42.430 --> 00:43:45.070
proper movements and sequencing of the
00:43:45.070 --> 00:43:46.990
shoulders and the arms through the
00:43:46.990 --> 00:43:51.070
release I'm playing around with kind of
00:43:51.070 --> 00:43:52.630
creating some stuff that I think will
00:43:52.630 --> 00:43:55.750
help with that but I haven't seen
00:43:55.750 --> 00:43:58.600
anything great yet on the market that
00:43:58.600 --> 00:44:02.200
specifically trains either the trail or
00:44:02.200 --> 00:44:04.390
the lead arm there's a bunch of things
00:44:04.390 --> 00:44:06.550
that train kind of the club but I
00:44:06.550 --> 00:44:08.080
haven't seen anything that trains the
00:44:08.080 --> 00:44:10.270
whole arm which is why I'm I'm working
00:44:10.270 --> 00:44:15.130
on stuff for that all right we've got we
00:44:15.130 --> 00:44:18.790
got time for maybe one more if anything
00:44:18.790 --> 00:44:22.600
comes in quickly I want to sorry for the
00:44:22.600 --> 00:44:26.230
little audio issue this time I will
00:44:26.230 --> 00:44:29.320
however basically I'll make sure that
00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:34.330
the mic is plugged in next time one
00:44:34.330 --> 00:44:37.510
quick last question any training aids
00:44:37.510 --> 00:44:41.620
for the lower body sequencing well um so
00:44:41.620 --> 00:44:44.800
that's a great question so lower body
00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:45.549
sequencing
00:44:45.549 --> 00:44:49.509
the the things that I like to do to work
00:44:49.509 --> 00:44:51.640
on improving lower-body sequencing is to
00:44:51.640 --> 00:44:53.919
get you aware of how your feet need to
00:44:53.919 --> 00:44:56.319
work against the ground so my favorite
00:44:56.319 --> 00:44:57.939
things to do especially in the offseason
00:44:57.939 --> 00:45:02.799
are more like lateral agility drills you
00:45:02.799 --> 00:45:07.289
know people who like to ice skate right
00:45:07.289 --> 00:45:11.169
helps learn how to push against the
00:45:11.169 --> 00:45:14.109
ground properly typically I find that
00:45:14.109 --> 00:45:16.419
golfers who struggle more with the lower
00:45:16.419 --> 00:45:20.140
body sequencing have poorer balance poor
00:45:20.140 --> 00:45:22.869
foot ankle awareness and have never done
00:45:22.869 --> 00:45:24.489
any skills where they had to move
00:45:24.489 --> 00:45:28.359
laterally or change direction quickly
00:45:28.359 --> 00:45:31.959
and and so doing things working on
00:45:31.959 --> 00:45:34.359
that's why things like step drills and
00:45:34.359 --> 00:45:37.419
step drills swinging the rope work
00:45:37.419 --> 00:45:40.809
really well though the the leader board
00:45:40.809 --> 00:45:42.479
was an interesting device because it got
00:45:42.479 --> 00:45:46.509
good muscle activation but it didn't
00:45:46.509 --> 00:45:49.569
necessarily train the proper foot
00:45:49.569 --> 00:45:54.099
mechanics so I ID fault two lateral
00:45:54.099 --> 00:45:57.519
shuffles lateral bounding and then step
00:45:57.519 --> 00:46:02.409
drills working on the Jackson 5 but for
00:46:02.409 --> 00:46:04.329
those who do rollerblading and ice
00:46:04.329 --> 00:46:06.249
skating work really well for helping
00:46:06.249 --> 00:46:09.429
train lower body sequencing just make
00:46:09.429 --> 00:46:11.469
sure you know how to ice-skate before
00:46:11.469 --> 00:46:14.229
you go out there and try to do it
00:46:14.229 --> 00:46:18.279
explosively if you have any other any
00:46:18.279 --> 00:46:20.259
other thoughts we're kind of coming to
00:46:20.259 --> 00:46:21.939
the end of our our time here so if you
00:46:21.939 --> 00:46:23.469
have any other questions feel free to
00:46:23.469 --> 00:46:26.049
shoot me an email at support at golf
00:46:26.049 --> 00:46:27.069
smart academy.com
00:46:27.069 --> 00:46:29.019
or if you have any suggestions for
00:46:29.019 --> 00:46:31.449
topics you'd like to see covered in
00:46:31.449 --> 00:46:33.869
future q A's
00:46:33.869 --> 00:46:36.579
thanks for everyone for writing in their
00:46:36.579 --> 00:46:39.399
questions happy New Year to everyone out
00:46:39.399 --> 00:46:44.289
there and happy 2018 if you haven't
00:46:44.289 --> 00:46:49.449
checked it out we've got I've got my my
00:46:49.449 --> 00:46:52.329
book we're closing in on selling 500
00:46:52.329 --> 00:46:56.799
copies perfect thank you very much so
00:46:56.799 --> 00:46:57.860
we've got the
00:46:57.860 --> 00:46:59.630
the book that I launched in November
00:46:59.630 --> 00:47:02.510
will probably do a QA where we'll just
00:47:02.510 --> 00:47:05.330
go through questions based on topics
00:47:05.330 --> 00:47:07.250
that I've covered in the book that was
00:47:07.250 --> 00:47:08.630
one suggestion and we'll get that
00:47:08.630 --> 00:47:12.320
probably going pretty soon it's been
00:47:12.320 --> 00:47:13.850
pretty well received I'm pretty happy
00:47:13.850 --> 00:47:14.330
with it
00:47:14.330 --> 00:47:17.360
so I love if you check it out and review
00:47:17.360 --> 00:47:19.220
it on Amazon that's where we're

currently selling it if you have any
00:47:21.680 --> 00:47:26.150
questions about training AIDS offseason
00:47:26.150 --> 00:47:28.220
programs again send them to support and
00:47:28.220 --> 00:47:30.200
I'll answer them directly but thanks

the up with the Oh put the link to the
00:47:37.640 --> 00:47:40.600
right arm drills in the link below
00:47:40.600 --> 00:47:43.730
absolutely Chris I'll see hit the next
00:47:43.730 --> 00:47:45.530

WEBVTT
00:00:00.079 --> 00:00:02.280
anyway just building off what we did
00:00:02.280 --> 00:00:06.319
last week we were talking mostly about
00:00:06.319 --> 00:00:13.559
getting a couple all right
00:00:13.559 --> 00:00:15.540
most people are saying that we're good
00:00:15.540 --> 00:00:17.390
to go
00:00:17.390 --> 00:00:20.039
should be all set
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:22.220
um building off of what we did last week
00:00:22.220 --> 00:00:24.810
where we were talking about offseason
00:00:24.810 --> 00:00:26.970
training programs and and working either
00:00:26.970 --> 00:00:32.250
in the gym or on the range I thought
00:00:32.250 --> 00:00:34.170
that training is would be a good topic
00:00:34.170 --> 00:00:36.360
because I get periodic questions either
00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:40.170
from my students in person or from you
00:00:40.170 --> 00:00:43.230
guys through the site and training aids
00:00:43.230 --> 00:00:45.950
can be really helpful or they can
00:00:45.950 --> 00:00:49.410
absolutely derail what you're working on
00:00:49.410 --> 00:00:52.770
and I'll use a few examples of golfers
00:00:52.770 --> 00:00:54.360
in the past who have sabotage what we
00:00:54.360 --> 00:00:55.920
were working on by using the wrong
00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:01.620
training but before we before we jump
00:01:01.620 --> 00:01:03.329
into specific training aids and what
00:01:03.329 --> 00:01:05.939
they work on let me just kind of paint
00:01:05.939 --> 00:01:08.939
the big picture you want to use training
00:01:08.939 --> 00:01:15.840
aids I see why would someone have to
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:20.720
audios Wes or Flores
00:01:27.030 --> 00:01:36.720
that's what I've used in the past what
00:01:37.289 --> 00:01:42.340
I'm I see that I see that money out
00:01:42.340 --> 00:01:44.920
there has two different audios um I
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:49.420
would check I would check your
00:01:49.420 --> 00:01:51.220
particular output because we just
00:01:51.220 --> 00:01:52.509
checked it here and it seems like we're
00:01:52.509 --> 00:01:58.330
pretty good so anyway I I want you to
00:01:58.330 --> 00:02:01.110
always know what you're working on so
00:02:01.110 --> 00:02:04.030
there are there are a few key skills
00:02:04.030 --> 00:02:05.380
that you want to work on whenever you're
00:02:05.380 --> 00:02:07.420
trying to improve your golf game one is
00:02:07.420 --> 00:02:10.080
how you create speed which would include
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:14.920
sequencing drills and let's say rhythm
00:02:14.920 --> 00:02:15.670
drills
00:02:15.670 --> 00:02:17.799
how are you power your swing so speed
00:02:17.799 --> 00:02:20.440
training all that stuff the second piece
00:02:20.440 --> 00:02:24.579
would be looking at controlling the path
00:02:24.579 --> 00:02:28.030
and the path can include the horizontal
00:02:28.030 --> 00:02:30.250
swing direction so the direction that
00:02:30.250 --> 00:02:32.500
the swing plane or path is pointing as
00:02:32.500 --> 00:02:35.650
well as low point control if you have a
00:02:35.650 --> 00:02:37.690
good path you will make solid contact if
00:02:37.690 --> 00:02:39.639
you don't have a good path you will not
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:42.850
make good solid contact and then the
00:02:42.850 --> 00:02:44.889
last scale is working on clubface
00:02:44.889 --> 00:02:51.069
control so working on working on how you
00:02:51.069 --> 00:02:55.030
orient the clubface compared to the path
00:02:55.030 --> 00:02:57.819
so if your ball has a lot of curve to it
00:02:57.819 --> 00:03:00.459
then the club face is pointing in the
00:03:00.459 --> 00:03:02.410
direction of the curve compared to the
00:03:02.410 --> 00:03:05.170
path and so once you figure out which of
00:03:05.170 --> 00:03:06.910
those skills you really want to work on
00:03:06.910 --> 00:03:10.389
then you can use a training aid to help
00:03:10.389 --> 00:03:14.380
you correct that specific issue but
00:03:14.380 --> 00:03:16.090
don't just buy a training aid and use it
00:03:16.090 --> 00:03:18.010
just because it's the latest greatest
00:03:18.010 --> 00:03:19.959
thing make sure it's gonna solve your
00:03:19.959 --> 00:03:24.519
specific problems so I've got a list
00:03:24.519 --> 00:03:26.889
here of training aids that most of you
00:03:26.889 --> 00:03:31.840
sent in beforehand if you if you have
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:34.050
any questions or any other
00:03:34.050 --> 00:03:36.840
specific training AIDS go ahead and
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:38.850
shoot them in the text I'll check that
00:03:38.850 --> 00:03:43.970
periodically by far the the most common
00:03:43.970 --> 00:03:48.210
so I tell you about 50% of the emails I
00:03:48.210 --> 00:03:50.520
got included what do you think of the
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.910
orange whip so if we filter back to
00:03:53.910 --> 00:03:55.980
thinking about are we working on path
00:03:55.980 --> 00:03:58.380
are we working on face are we working on
00:03:58.380 --> 00:04:01.080
speed the orange whip is really good at
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.240
working on sequencing there's a couple
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:05.880
guys in the 3d space who have done a
00:04:05.880 --> 00:04:07.560
fair amount of research and shown that
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:10.650
in general kinematic sequences get
00:04:10.650 --> 00:04:12.390
better when you're swinging the orange
00:04:12.390 --> 00:04:15.360
whip you'll also notice that it tends to
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.120
improve the swing path so if you're
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.160
trying to figure out what it feels like
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:23.820
to swing from the inside orange whip is
00:04:23.820 --> 00:04:27.240
a great way to get that feeling now the
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:30.900
problem is it doesn't work on the two
00:04:30.900 --> 00:04:33.000
other key skills so it doesn't work on
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.400
low point control in fact in many cases
00:04:35.400 --> 00:04:38.820
it will cause your low point control to
00:04:38.820 --> 00:04:40.770
move backward and get behind the golf
00:04:40.770 --> 00:04:43.860
ball so if you struggle with low point
00:04:43.860 --> 00:04:47.810
control then this training aid can often
00:04:47.810 --> 00:04:50.490
make it worse especially if you use it
00:04:50.490 --> 00:04:53.310
as a daily warmup the other thing that
00:04:53.310 --> 00:04:55.350
it doesn't work on is it doesn't work on
00:04:55.350 --> 00:04:59.100
club clubface control so it it doesn't
00:04:59.100 --> 00:05:02.280
really help you learn to rotate the
00:05:02.280 --> 00:05:04.170
forearms and orient the face you can get
00:05:04.170 --> 00:05:06.360
away with kind of a scoop flip because
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:08.340
you're not really making contact with
00:05:08.340 --> 00:05:12.900
the ground so again while missing those
00:05:12.900 --> 00:05:16.980
two skills it can make a lumber of swing
00:05:16.980 --> 00:05:20.130
patterns hit the ball worse it can cause
00:05:20.130 --> 00:05:22.980
you to hit it on the it can cause you to
00:05:22.980 --> 00:05:24.600
hit it fat it can cause you to hit it on
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:28.020
the toe it can mess up contact so if
00:05:28.020 --> 00:05:30.600
you're already pretty good at moving low
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.030
point around like you you do some of the
00:05:33.030 --> 00:05:34.860
playing with low point drill where you
00:05:34.860 --> 00:05:37.770
work on hitting low point behind the
00:05:37.770 --> 00:05:39.150
ball low point even with the ball low
00:05:39.150 --> 00:05:40.530
point in front and you work on that
00:05:40.530 --> 00:05:43.950
spectrum then you shouldn't be worried
00:05:43.950 --> 00:05:46.110
about doing a skill that's gonna improve
00:05:46.110 --> 00:05:47.160
your sequencing
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:49.890
improve your speed because you'll know
00:05:49.890 --> 00:05:51.600
how to move the low point back forward
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:53.940
but if you're not very good at that low
00:05:53.940 --> 00:05:57.180
point control drill then I would say
00:05:57.180 --> 00:05:59.630
that the orange whip is at best case
00:05:59.630 --> 00:06:01.860
kind of we'll give it a yellow flag
00:06:01.860 --> 00:06:04.440
right it's it's risky because it codes
00:06:04.440 --> 00:06:06.150
cause you to hit a lot of fat and thin
00:06:06.150 --> 00:06:08.280
shots by moving the low point backward
00:06:08.280 --> 00:06:09.780
by getting your path coming a little bit
00:06:09.780 --> 00:06:14.160
more from the inside the the second
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.500
training aid that I had the greatest
00:06:16.500 --> 00:06:18.150
number of questions about is the super
00:06:18.150 --> 00:06:20.030
speed system right because this is the
00:06:20.030 --> 00:06:22.140
offseason everybody wants to hit the
00:06:22.140 --> 00:06:25.920
ball further so the super speed system
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.790
on paper makes a lot of sense and it it
00:06:29.790 --> 00:06:32.670
has the probably the same advant
00:06:32.670 --> 00:06:35.310
advantage and challenges as the orange
00:06:35.310 --> 00:06:37.710
whip so it really helps with sequencing
00:06:37.710 --> 00:06:40.680
it really helps with improving your path
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:43.890
because it's harder to swing something
00:06:43.890 --> 00:06:47.850
off path as fast as you can when it's on
00:06:47.850 --> 00:06:52.110
plane and as a result typically when you
00:06:52.110 --> 00:06:53.550
don't have a clubface you're not worried
00:06:53.550 --> 00:06:54.750
about low point control you get a
00:06:54.750 --> 00:06:55.950
lighter object and you're just trying to
00:06:55.950 --> 00:06:58.110
swing it fast your path is going to
00:06:58.110 --> 00:07:01.320
improve the problem is then again if you
00:07:01.320 --> 00:07:03.510
don't have the skills to be able to
00:07:03.510 --> 00:07:07.140
control the face so that it works with a
00:07:07.140 --> 00:07:09.360
more neutral path and you don't have the
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:11.460
skills to be able to move the low point
00:07:11.460 --> 00:07:13.919
back forward then it can become a
00:07:13.919 --> 00:07:16.530
problem so I've seen a number of golfers
00:07:16.530 --> 00:07:18.990
who struggle with having the clubface
00:07:18.990 --> 00:07:22.860
more open and closing late and those
00:07:22.860 --> 00:07:25.200
golfers when they use things like super
00:07:25.200 --> 00:07:28.050
speed or to a lesser extent orange whip
00:07:28.050 --> 00:07:31.470
it can cause them to either hit shanks
00:07:31.470 --> 00:07:35.430
or really thin shots like and cause them
00:07:35.430 --> 00:07:37.220
to leave it off to the right because
00:07:37.220 --> 00:07:41.000
better sequencing and better timing
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.560
creates more shaft lean creates more leg
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:45.540
and that opens the face so if you
00:07:45.540 --> 00:07:47.220
already struggle with an open faced
00:07:47.220 --> 00:07:49.620
orientation and then you you kind of
00:07:49.620 --> 00:07:51.210
flip it down to the bottom in order to
00:07:51.210 --> 00:07:55.130
close it then those training aids I
00:07:55.130 --> 00:07:57.419
would say you you want to work on the
00:07:57.419 --> 00:07:59.580
clubface control first before you start
00:07:59.580 --> 00:08:00.380
working
00:08:00.380 --> 00:08:03.290
really dialing in and improving that
00:08:03.290 --> 00:08:09.170
path so that kind of brings us into some
00:08:09.170 --> 00:08:14.080
of the next genre and I one question on
00:08:14.080 --> 00:08:17.060
training the flat left wrist right
00:08:17.060 --> 00:08:18.770
there's a number of training aids out
00:08:18.770 --> 00:08:23.360
there whether it's the blue the blue
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:28.240
strike or the what's Martin Chuck's the
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:32.240
educator the coat hanger like there's a
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.400
lot of things that help you keep that
00:08:34.400 --> 00:08:37.910
left wrist flat and those can be really
00:08:37.910 --> 00:08:41.599
useful for 9:00 to 3:00 training there's
00:08:41.599 --> 00:08:43.400
gonna be really useful for working on
00:08:43.400 --> 00:08:46.280
the arm mechanic so basically working on
00:08:46.280 --> 00:08:51.070
a really good arm and hand release now
00:08:51.070 --> 00:08:54.380
the question was basically with those
00:08:54.380 --> 00:08:57.920
devices when we're looking at that left
00:08:57.920 --> 00:09:01.100
wrist staying flat what happens then
00:09:01.100 --> 00:09:02.210
when you go to a full swing because
00:09:02.210 --> 00:09:03.740
obviously in the full swing at some
00:09:03.740 --> 00:09:06.650
point that wrist starts to lose flexion
00:09:06.650 --> 00:09:10.010
and move towards extension so is it
00:09:10.010 --> 00:09:12.650
worthwhile to train the nine to threes
00:09:12.650 --> 00:09:15.500
and keep it more in flexion or are you
00:09:15.500 --> 00:09:18.440
setting yourself for a bad pattern what
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:21.890
I have typically found is that yes doing
00:09:21.890 --> 00:09:25.190
nine threes with those type of training
00:09:25.190 --> 00:09:28.220
aids can be really helpful because what
00:09:28.220 --> 00:09:30.440
should pull the left wrist out of
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:33.650
flexion and into extension is more the
00:09:33.650 --> 00:09:35.750
speed and the movement of the left
00:09:35.750 --> 00:09:40.190
shoulder so essentially this space here
00:09:40.190 --> 00:09:43.370
so down at the bottom of the swing let's
00:09:43.370 --> 00:09:45.620
say I've got a little bit of flexion in
00:09:45.620 --> 00:09:48.140
my wrist like this well the club is
00:09:48.140 --> 00:09:50.390
going to be pulling that way and as my
00:09:50.390 --> 00:09:52.790
body is rotating aside bending that left
00:09:52.790 --> 00:09:55.010
shoulder is going to be pulling back up
00:09:55.010 --> 00:09:56.960
away from the golf ball that way so I've
00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:58.970
got one thing pulling that way one thing
00:09:58.970 --> 00:09:59.390
pulling
00:09:59.390 --> 00:10:01.970
whay everything in the in between those
00:10:01.970 --> 00:10:03.890
points is going to want to move towards
00:10:03.890 --> 00:10:06.080
neutral and basically reach a straight
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:09.320
line between them so what takes it out
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:12.740
of flexion is more good bracing and good
00:10:12.740 --> 00:10:14.810
body speed so if you're doing little
00:10:14.810 --> 00:10:18.710
nine to three shots it can be really
00:10:18.710 --> 00:10:21.740
helpful to train keeping that left wrist
00:10:21.740 --> 00:10:24.950
flat all the way through a nine to three
00:10:24.950 --> 00:10:27.170
or a short you know waist height swing
00:10:27.170 --> 00:10:31.520
the what I typically find is golfers who
00:10:31.520 --> 00:10:33.260
struggle with having that left wrist
00:10:33.260 --> 00:10:35.180
flat and having more of a scoop are
00:10:35.180 --> 00:10:37.790
trying to absorb the force this way
00:10:37.790 --> 00:10:40.190
instead of absorbing the force with a
00:10:40.190 --> 00:10:44.360
little bit more natural supination so
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:46.220
basically allowing the club to rotate
00:10:46.220 --> 00:10:49.160
but when the club is passing they all
00:10:49.160 --> 00:10:51.470
fall in passing your body you're going
00:10:51.470 --> 00:10:53.510
to have to absorb the force one way or
00:10:53.510 --> 00:10:56.300
the other so if you're struggling with
00:10:56.300 --> 00:10:57.800
having more of a scoop where the handle
00:10:57.800 --> 00:11:02.480
is getting back then doing swings that
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:04.310
force the wrist to stay flexed and
00:11:04.310 --> 00:11:07.190
learning to absorb it more with that
00:11:07.190 --> 00:11:10.370
rotation helps build the skill that will
00:11:10.370 --> 00:11:13.100
make it easier to get the shaft lean you
00:11:13.100 --> 00:11:15.790
want when you start taking full swings
00:11:15.790 --> 00:11:19.700
so I am a fan of things that help
00:11:19.700 --> 00:11:21.770
promote the flat left wrist and things
00:11:21.770 --> 00:11:25.160
that promote shaft lean I just don't
00:11:25.160 --> 00:11:28.580
like to do really big full swings with
00:11:28.580 --> 00:11:31.880
them because in order to do it correctly
00:11:31.880 --> 00:11:34.130
or in order to use the training aid the
00:11:34.130 --> 00:11:36.890
way it looks like it's design you'd have
00:11:36.890 --> 00:11:41.660
to effectively use your body in a poor
00:11:41.660 --> 00:11:43.310
way you wouldn't be able to pivot quite
00:11:43.310 --> 00:11:47.300
as well okay so then I've got a few
00:11:47.300 --> 00:11:49.070
other trainings that we'll go through
00:11:49.070 --> 00:11:51.710
before I get in a few the questions
00:11:51.710 --> 00:11:54.710
related to them so we've got the the
00:11:54.710 --> 00:11:58.100
impact snap which I actually I I think
00:11:58.100 --> 00:12:03.110
is a pretty smart training device I have
00:12:03.110 --> 00:12:05.740
a drill on the site where I work on
00:12:05.740 --> 00:12:09.070
ulnar deviation and ulnar deviation is
00:12:09.070 --> 00:12:11.620
of the key movements of the left wrist
00:12:11.620 --> 00:12:14.410
going like this that essentially creates
00:12:14.410 --> 00:12:16.570
within the follow-through so when it
00:12:16.570 --> 00:12:18.820
starts reimaging it will tend to have a
00:12:18.820 --> 00:12:22.899
look more like this and if you work on
00:12:22.899 --> 00:12:25.089
that left wrist getting into only
00:12:25.089 --> 00:12:26.949
deviation it will tend to have a look
00:12:26.949 --> 00:12:27.790
coming through
00:12:27.790 --> 00:12:31.360
more like that so you can as a cheap
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:32.769
version one of the drills I have on the
00:12:32.769 --> 00:12:35.800
site is working on getting that let the
00:12:35.800 --> 00:12:39.670
grip more in line with the forearm later
00:12:39.670 --> 00:12:44.589
and later but Calvin miyahara has a
00:12:44.589 --> 00:12:46.269
training device called the impact snap
00:12:46.269 --> 00:12:49.300
where basically it forces you to get
00:12:49.300 --> 00:12:53.079
into that impact position now the only
00:12:53.079 --> 00:12:55.120
thing that I don't like about it is
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:57.730
there's a there's a ball bearing in it
00:12:57.730 --> 00:13:00.899
used for timing and in order to get that
00:13:00.899 --> 00:13:04.240
timing or get the ball bearing to snap
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:05.769
on the other side of the golf ball
00:13:05.769 --> 00:13:08.380
you really have to hold off the only
00:13:08.380 --> 00:13:11.949
deviation for an exaggerated period of
00:13:11.949 --> 00:13:14.769
time at least compared to what I see on
00:13:14.769 --> 00:13:19.089
3d and what I see in in practice I'm a
00:13:19.089 --> 00:13:22.060
bigger fan of trying to get that ulnar
00:13:22.060 --> 00:13:25.839
deviation to happen earlier because if
00:13:25.839 --> 00:13:27.610
you get that ulnar deviation happening
00:13:27.610 --> 00:13:30.490
earlier and more gradual it tends to
00:13:30.490 --> 00:13:33.510
promote body rotation on the way through
00:13:33.510 --> 00:13:35.800
and body rotation on the way through
00:13:35.800 --> 00:13:40.300
tends to help promote the increase arc
00:13:40.300 --> 00:13:41.980
with or the wide point getting on the
00:13:41.980 --> 00:13:43.779
other side of the golf ball which helps
00:13:43.779 --> 00:13:45.339
with your flat spot and overall
00:13:45.339 --> 00:13:48.970
consistency so I am a big fan of the
00:13:48.970 --> 00:13:53.050
impact snap I think just doing the the
00:13:53.050 --> 00:13:54.579
perfect place to do that type of
00:13:54.579 --> 00:13:56.920
training is whenever you're just hanging
00:13:56.920 --> 00:13:59.230
out watching TV all of a lot of my
00:13:59.230 --> 00:14:01.600
students you know grab either a sharpie
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:04.959
or a TV remote and work on wrist
00:14:04.959 --> 00:14:06.880
mechanics just just kind of putting in
00:14:06.880 --> 00:14:09.100
reps so the brain and the body is more
00:14:09.100 --> 00:14:10.810
and more comfortable with those
00:14:10.810 --> 00:14:14.139
movements similar to you know the karate
00:14:14.139 --> 00:14:16.180
kid' doing all the wax on stuff just to
00:14:16.180 --> 00:14:18.149
train the muscle patterns so that then
00:14:18.149 --> 00:14:20.279
when you get
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:23.910
the range it's easier to recall that
00:14:23.910 --> 00:14:26.249
pattern and build it into a more usable
00:14:26.249 --> 00:14:30.120
skill so impact Snap is definitely one
00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:32.040
of those good training devices that you
00:14:32.040 --> 00:14:35.610
can use to to train the wrist release
00:14:35.610 --> 00:14:37.439
just be careful with the timing because
00:14:37.439 --> 00:14:42.180
the timing can be counterproductive the
00:14:42.180 --> 00:14:43.829
swing guide I had a question about that
00:14:43.829 --> 00:14:47.040
it's one of the most one it was one of
00:14:47.040 --> 00:14:49.079
the most popular training devices out
00:14:49.079 --> 00:14:51.959
there for a long period of time it can
00:14:51.959 --> 00:14:54.180
be useful if you don't use it the way
00:14:54.180 --> 00:14:56.790
that they recommend you use it on the on
00:14:56.790 --> 00:14:59.579
the box so on the box they basically
00:14:59.579 --> 00:15:01.980
want you to hinge your wrist so that it
00:15:01.980 --> 00:15:03.809
sits up against your forearm just like
00:15:03.809 --> 00:15:06.329
so the problem is when you hinge your
00:15:06.329 --> 00:15:08.370
wrist like that you'll tend to create
00:15:08.370 --> 00:15:10.230
some extension which is going to tend to
00:15:10.230 --> 00:15:12.389
open the clubface and if you keep that
00:15:12.389 --> 00:15:14.519
clubface open long into the downswing
00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:17.939
then that would create an excessively
00:15:17.939 --> 00:15:19.740
steep path from the arms so you'll
00:15:19.740 --> 00:15:22.410
shallow at your body the most common
00:15:22.410 --> 00:15:24.420
ways to shallow out the body would be to
00:15:24.420 --> 00:15:26.639
delay the rotation and go into a bit of
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:28.740
it though the extension so it it really
00:15:28.740 --> 00:15:31.430
can promote more of this kind of
00:15:31.430 --> 00:15:35.250
extension stall pattern and then rapid
00:15:35.250 --> 00:15:37.920
flip down to the bottom but what you can
00:15:37.920 --> 00:15:42.000
do is if you set it up the way that
00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:43.709
you're supposed to but then you make
00:15:43.709 --> 00:15:45.360
sure instead of it hitting your forearm
00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:47.730
that it stays on the outside of your
00:15:47.730 --> 00:15:49.829
forearm so basically you're gonna make
00:15:49.829 --> 00:15:52.920
sure that it is outside of the body here
00:15:52.920 --> 00:15:54.660
all right so it's basically connected
00:15:54.660 --> 00:15:57.420
from here to there and that will help
00:15:57.420 --> 00:16:02.819
encourage the flexion especially on the
00:16:02.819 --> 00:16:04.860
way through so when you go into that
00:16:04.860 --> 00:16:07.740
release or the follow-through side
00:16:07.740 --> 00:16:10.589
making sure that the swing guide is on
00:16:10.589 --> 00:16:12.360
the outside of the forearm
00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:15.529
instead of hitting it right on top the
00:16:15.529 --> 00:16:19.660
radial deviation or hinging the wrist is
00:16:19.660 --> 00:16:22.240
one of the one of the movements that
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:24.190
many amateur golfers tend to struggle
00:16:24.190 --> 00:16:27.430
with when you hinge your wrist
00:16:27.430 --> 00:16:30.490
especially on the way through that tends
00:16:30.490 --> 00:16:32.380
to close the club face it's effectively
00:16:32.380 --> 00:16:35.260
like having the ball up above your feet
00:16:35.260 --> 00:16:37.210
and you can see that that club would be
00:16:37.210 --> 00:16:39.880
pointing ways to the left so many
00:16:39.880 --> 00:16:42.880
golfers amateur golfers anyway use that
00:16:42.880 --> 00:16:45.070
kind of riehen geing down at the bottom
00:16:45.070 --> 00:16:47.380
to help close the club face and when
00:16:47.380 --> 00:16:49.000
they first start working on a better
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:51.280
release they hit it out to the right
00:16:51.280 --> 00:16:54.970
because they instead of getting the
00:16:54.970 --> 00:16:56.530
shaft rotation they close the club face
00:16:56.530 --> 00:17:00.220
they're doing it with that range so the
00:17:00.220 --> 00:17:02.890
training devices that emphasize holding
00:17:02.890 --> 00:17:06.189
that hinge longer can indirectly cause
00:17:06.189 --> 00:17:08.439
you to have more of a scoop or more of a
00:17:08.439 --> 00:17:11.110
roll pattern down at the bottom so
00:17:11.110 --> 00:17:12.819
that's something that you have to be
00:17:12.819 --> 00:17:15.730
careful of if you struggle with clubface
00:17:15.730 --> 00:17:18.189
control and you use more of that roll as
00:17:18.189 --> 00:17:20.050
one of your primary ways for squaring
00:17:20.050 --> 00:17:23.709
the face there's some other devices that
00:17:23.709 --> 00:17:27.370
work on kind of connections so you've
00:17:27.370 --> 00:17:30.490
got like the swing shirt where you it
00:17:30.490 --> 00:17:32.890
basically forces your arms to stay close
00:17:32.890 --> 00:17:35.100
together you've got things like the
00:17:35.100 --> 00:17:39.670
impact ball you've got you know I used
00:17:39.670 --> 00:17:42.370
just a car wash sponge but things that
00:17:42.370 --> 00:17:46.840
keep your arms close together generally
00:17:46.840 --> 00:17:48.820
work on path training and generally work
00:17:48.820 --> 00:17:53.200
on sequencing so many golfers struggle
00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:55.660
with getting a lot of arm pole to create
00:17:55.660 --> 00:17:58.930
their speed or they tend to swing the
00:17:58.930 --> 00:18:00.520
club backward mostly using their
00:18:00.520 --> 00:18:02.890
shoulders instead of using their spine
00:18:02.890 --> 00:18:08.140
so I've said before that virtually every
00:18:08.140 --> 00:18:11.010
swing tip related to the backswing is
00:18:11.010 --> 00:18:13.510
just trying to get you to use your body
00:18:13.510 --> 00:18:16.360
instead of your arms to bring the club
00:18:16.360 --> 00:18:19.150
back or to keep the clubface from
00:18:19.150 --> 00:18:23.080
opening up too much so all the low and
00:18:23.080 --> 00:18:25.390
slow and one-piece takeaway and things
00:18:25.390 --> 00:18:28.300
like the shirt and the impact ball that
00:18:28.300 --> 00:18:30.480
just forces you to route
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:33.179
your body in the backswing as opposed to
00:18:33.179 --> 00:18:36.120
just moving your arms when you just move
00:18:36.120 --> 00:18:38.130
your arms that then becomes harder to
00:18:38.130 --> 00:18:42.210
have really good sequencing in
00:18:42.210 --> 00:18:44.600
transition so I put those in more of a
00:18:44.600 --> 00:18:48.990
how we create speed category now I've
00:18:48.990 --> 00:18:52.470
got a video on the the impact wall and
00:18:52.470 --> 00:18:55.350
why I prefer like softer sponges and
00:18:55.350 --> 00:18:57.240
things like that
00:18:57.240 --> 00:18:59.250
is because in the follow-through those
00:18:59.250 --> 00:19:00.780
arms should be getting closer together
00:19:00.780 --> 00:19:03.780
so if you have a device that's too firm
00:19:03.780 --> 00:19:07.040
in between your forearms it will tend to
00:19:07.040 --> 00:19:09.480
prevent you from getting that trail arm
00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:11.970
to fully straighten or it will tend to
00:19:11.970 --> 00:19:14.880
cause your upper body to lunge too far
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:17.340
forward in order to get the club to
00:19:17.340 --> 00:19:20.160
swing on a good path without letting
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:22.610
those arms get closer together so
00:19:22.610 --> 00:19:26.970
there's a lot of training aids that seem
00:19:26.970 --> 00:19:29.280
like a good idea on paper and ultimately
00:19:29.280 --> 00:19:32.190
help you with one specific aspect but if
00:19:32.190 --> 00:19:33.630
you take it all the way through the
00:19:33.630 --> 00:19:36.450
whole swing it messes up another area
00:19:36.450 --> 00:19:37.830
and that's one of the cases where the
00:19:37.830 --> 00:19:39.000
impact ball helps you with your
00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:41.360
backswing and helps you with your
00:19:41.360 --> 00:19:45.270
transition but it can be a problem for
00:19:45.270 --> 00:19:48.929
the release which many golfers struggle
00:19:48.929 --> 00:19:51.360
with so I'm not a huge fan of that one I
00:19:51.360 --> 00:19:53.130
would prefer using something softer like
00:19:53.130 --> 00:19:57.419
a sponge I'll see a couple questions
00:19:57.419 --> 00:20:00.750
coming in Martin Chuck's five and seven
00:20:00.750 --> 00:20:03.900
irons of pee with the no leading wedge
00:20:03.900 --> 00:20:05.970
do you mean the Tour striker um the
00:20:05.970 --> 00:20:09.419
problem with the Tour striker is so if
00:20:09.419 --> 00:20:10.650
you haven't seen it the Tour striker
00:20:10.650 --> 00:20:12.990
instead of the golfer or the golf club
00:20:12.990 --> 00:20:15.480
being like this the leading edge is
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:17.370
basically up here and then it has a
00:20:17.370 --> 00:20:20.070
curved bottom so in theory its design is
00:20:20.070 --> 00:20:21.870
to get you to excessively lean the
00:20:21.870 --> 00:20:25.590
chef's now the problem is it has so much
00:20:25.590 --> 00:20:26.160
bounce
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:30.540
they used the sole is fairly round that
00:20:30.540 --> 00:20:33.360
you can actually scoop it well enough to
00:20:33.360 --> 00:20:35.460
get the ball in the air even if you
00:20:35.460 --> 00:20:39.299
don't use it properly so I haven't seen
00:20:39.299 --> 00:20:41.240
a huge carryover from
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:45.560
those devices I like Martin's other
00:20:45.560 --> 00:20:48.960
training aid the educator a whole lot
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:49.410
better
00:20:49.410 --> 00:20:53.070
so I'm I'd give kind of a caution I
00:20:53.070 --> 00:20:54.620
think there's better stuff to then
00:20:54.620 --> 00:20:59.340
Martin Chuck's tour striker in fact that
00:20:59.340 --> 00:21:00.570
brings one of the questions was about
00:21:00.570 --> 00:21:04.890
the DST compressor so the the DST
00:21:04.890 --> 00:21:08.150
compressor if you haven't seen it is a
00:21:08.150 --> 00:21:11.220
curved shaft so instead of the club
00:21:11.220 --> 00:21:13.170
going straight it kind of curves like
00:21:13.170 --> 00:21:17.520
this so essentially it forces it forces
00:21:17.520 --> 00:21:19.380
you to get your hands ahead which is one
00:21:19.380 --> 00:21:22.080
of the things that most amateur golfers
00:21:22.080 --> 00:21:24.060
struggle with so it just gives you the
00:21:24.060 --> 00:21:26.330
experience of when your hands are ahead
00:21:26.330 --> 00:21:28.970
how would you have the clubface square
00:21:28.970 --> 00:21:36.780
and it it definitely it definitely helps
00:21:36.780 --> 00:21:38.820
with shallowing the club if you have
00:21:38.820 --> 00:21:40.800
more of an early arm action if you have
00:21:40.800 --> 00:21:43.110
more of kind of a cast pattern you'll
00:21:43.110 --> 00:21:46.020
hit the ball just terribly the thing
00:21:46.020 --> 00:21:47.580
that it doesn't really help with is it
00:21:47.580 --> 00:21:50.490
doesn't really help prevent a flip so if
00:21:50.490 --> 00:21:53.580
your main struggle is more of clubface
00:21:53.580 --> 00:21:58.500
control with a flip then mmm I think
00:21:58.500 --> 00:22:00.390
they're better training aids but if your
00:22:00.390 --> 00:22:03.090
main goal is getting used to the hands
00:22:03.090 --> 00:22:06.030
forward or shallowing in the transition
00:22:06.030 --> 00:22:08.130
I think it's a I think it's a pretty
00:22:08.130 --> 00:22:09.540
good one I've got a fair number of
00:22:09.540 --> 00:22:12.990
students who like it I would use it
00:22:12.990 --> 00:22:15.810
sparingly so I'd use it as just kind of
00:22:15.810 --> 00:22:18.120
like the first five or ten minutes of a
00:22:18.120 --> 00:22:21.330
warm-up session or of your warm-up
00:22:21.330 --> 00:22:22.680
before getting into some mechanic
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:27.800
mechanical practice but I wouldn't I
00:22:27.800 --> 00:22:30.690
wouldn't overdo it with that the because
00:22:30.690 --> 00:22:32.700
it doesn't I think it can actually
00:22:32.700 --> 00:22:35.130
encourage a little bit of a flip but I
00:22:35.130 --> 00:22:37.290
don't have enough data points on that
00:22:37.290 --> 00:22:42.470
one to to say 100% I see a couple uh a
00:22:42.470 --> 00:22:47.430
couple questions coming in Sharon's
00:22:47.430 --> 00:22:49.500
asking about the sure set I'm actually
00:22:49.500 --> 00:22:53.420
not quite sure about the sure set
00:22:53.420 --> 00:22:59.640
what if you can post the link of the
00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:01.320
short set and I'll I'll click on it real
00:23:01.320 --> 00:23:02.640
quick and check it out
00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:05.490
George is asking about boards and
00:23:05.490 --> 00:23:07.650
plastic to place behind the ball to
00:23:07.650 --> 00:23:09.570
promote divot in front of all yeah when
00:23:09.570 --> 00:23:12.120
you're practicing indoors or when you're
00:23:12.120 --> 00:23:14.370
practicing in the winter low point
00:23:14.370 --> 00:23:17.370
control often is more challenging to pay
00:23:17.370 --> 00:23:18.510
attention to when you're training on a
00:23:18.510 --> 00:23:21.720
mat right so there are things like the
00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:25.080
fat plate there are you know you can
00:23:25.080 --> 00:23:28.500
take a credit old credit card or room
00:23:28.500 --> 00:23:30.060
key and place it behind the golf ball
00:23:30.060 --> 00:23:32.280
you can place a towel those things can
00:23:32.280 --> 00:23:34.350
help you be more aware of low point
00:23:34.350 --> 00:23:38.550
control when because the mat there you
00:23:38.550 --> 00:23:41.190
can YouTube high-speed video of hitting
00:23:41.190 --> 00:23:43.950
it fat on a mat and you'll see that if
00:23:43.950 --> 00:23:45.570
you hit behind the ball the ball will
00:23:45.570 --> 00:23:47.400
pop up and you'll hit it right in the
00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:49.320
middle of the club you'll feel like
00:23:49.320 --> 00:23:50.940
you've hit a good shot but if you had
00:23:50.940 --> 00:23:52.320
done that off grass it would have been a
00:23:52.320 --> 00:23:56.610
poor shot so I do like having some type
00:23:56.610 --> 00:23:58.440
of feedback if you're working on low
00:23:58.440 --> 00:24:01.830
point control so you'll see I'm always
00:24:01.830 --> 00:24:03.300
going to come back to what skill are you
00:24:03.300 --> 00:24:07.800
trying to Train and low point control is
00:24:07.800 --> 00:24:09.420
one of the most important factors when
00:24:09.420 --> 00:24:11.130
it comes to making solid contact with
00:24:11.130 --> 00:24:14.790
the irons and solid contact good iron
00:24:14.790 --> 00:24:16.860
play is one of the fastest ways to lower
00:24:16.860 --> 00:24:20.850
your scores so I would say that having
00:24:20.850 --> 00:24:23.180
something when you're practicing to just
00:24:23.180 --> 00:24:25.290
make sure that you don't get too sloppy
00:24:25.290 --> 00:24:27.120
with your low point control is a really
00:24:27.120 --> 00:24:31.860
good idea Chris is asking if you have to
00:24:31.860 --> 00:24:33.450
consolidate the training ideas can you
00:24:33.450 --> 00:24:35.490
pick three or four training aids which
00:24:35.490 --> 00:24:38.760
would be great for members of the gym to
00:24:38.760 --> 00:24:42.020
the work and practice members who come
00:24:42.020 --> 00:24:45.060
just and swing the orange whip in golf
00:24:45.060 --> 00:24:47.300
club it would be great to hear your
00:24:47.300 --> 00:24:51.420
recommendations for a gym with with 1200
00:24:51.420 --> 00:24:53.340
members top three the ones you talked
00:24:53.340 --> 00:24:56.970
about here so I do like I would get a
00:24:56.970 --> 00:24:59.760
few of the the impact snap you know it's
00:24:59.760 --> 00:25:03.389
not really a I wouldn't say that it's a
00:25:03.389 --> 00:25:05.519
you know a big workout but you could if
00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:06.959
you're doing golf fitness you could
00:25:06.959 --> 00:25:09.719
throw it into part of your cooldown it
00:25:09.719 --> 00:25:11.669
would just really help or in between
00:25:11.669 --> 00:25:13.859
sets or things like that almost like an
00:25:13.859 --> 00:25:19.139
active recovery period I do like the the
00:25:19.139 --> 00:25:22.109
orange whip or the SuperSpeed they're
00:25:22.109 --> 00:25:23.789
slightly different I think the orange
00:25:23.789 --> 00:25:26.820
whip is a little bit more Universal
00:25:26.820 --> 00:25:30.929
super speed you have to be a little
00:25:30.929 --> 00:25:33.599
careful just because you will reinforce
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:36.690
whatever your powder power program is so
00:25:36.690 --> 00:25:38.849
if you are more of an armed pool you
00:25:38.849 --> 00:25:41.429
will typically strengthen your arm pull
00:25:41.429 --> 00:25:43.440
pattern if you are more of like an early
00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:46.289
extender jumper you will reinforce your
00:25:46.289 --> 00:25:48.269
early ascender jumper pattern so you
00:25:48.269 --> 00:25:50.009
want to be careful with that where the
00:25:50.009 --> 00:25:53.009
orange whip I tend to find improves and
00:25:53.009 --> 00:25:55.649
balances kind of whether you're swinging
00:25:55.649 --> 00:25:57.149
more from your legs or more from your
00:25:57.149 --> 00:25:59.999
core and more from your upper body I do
00:25:59.999 --> 00:26:05.940
like the the DST compressor and I use an
00:26:05.940 --> 00:26:08.369
impact bag a lot but I don't use it
00:26:08.369 --> 00:26:10.649
though again the way that it's described
00:26:10.649 --> 00:26:12.479
on the package like I don't use it to
00:26:12.479 --> 00:26:15.809
just swing and hit it as if you were
00:26:15.809 --> 00:26:18.299
hitting a golf ball I'll put it at
00:26:18.299 --> 00:26:21.299
specific times to almost stop you mid
00:26:21.299 --> 00:26:23.669
movement so that you can see where you
00:26:23.669 --> 00:26:26.039
are and what you're doing so if I had to
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:28.619
pick three those would probably be three
00:26:28.619 --> 00:26:33.959
that I've been working on Golden Gate is
00:26:33.959 --> 00:26:35.849
asking if you have any time do you have
00:26:35.849 --> 00:26:37.859
any PGA Tour data on the amount or
00:26:37.859 --> 00:26:40.529
degrees of hing down on a 5-iron
00:26:40.529 --> 00:26:43.349
some say sweep but some hit down
00:26:43.349 --> 00:26:49.619
slightly Oh before I jump to that I see
00:26:49.619 --> 00:26:52.409
Jim saying asking about the orange whip
00:26:52.409 --> 00:26:55.169
wedge Stanley likes it handily endorsed
00:26:55.169 --> 00:26:57.989
it and created it I do have one and I
00:26:57.989 --> 00:27:01.369
think it's really smart now here's the I
00:27:01.369 --> 00:27:03.989
know two different golf instructors who
00:27:03.989 --> 00:27:06.329
were both very highly respected for
00:27:06.329 --> 00:27:08.279
their short game teaching and they use
00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:11.819
it totally differently they both use the
00:27:11.819 --> 00:27:14.279
product one tries to
00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:16.200
load it and unloaded as fast as they can
00:27:16.200 --> 00:27:17.940
and the other one tries to swing it with
00:27:17.940 --> 00:27:20.429
very little loading but I think that it
00:27:20.429 --> 00:27:23.609
helps with feeling the clubhead and with
00:27:23.609 --> 00:27:25.739
a little bit more of a cast style
00:27:25.739 --> 00:27:28.559
sequence so whether you do it
00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:30.899
aggressively or or a little bit more
00:27:30.899 --> 00:27:33.479
passively I still think it it's very
00:27:33.479 --> 00:27:36.659
helpful for communicating waiting at the
00:27:36.659 --> 00:27:38.909
top of the swing instead of a really big
00:27:38.909 --> 00:27:41.070
pole and many golfers who struggle with
00:27:41.070 --> 00:27:43.710
like the chip hips or hitting him really
00:27:43.710 --> 00:27:47.159
fat you know really bad miss patterns
00:27:47.159 --> 00:27:49.200
pull too hard on the on the grip in
00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:50.999
order to try to move it forward and they
00:27:50.999 --> 00:27:53.309
do really well with the orange which
00:27:53.309 --> 00:27:58.649
orange whip wedge sorry so PGA Tour data
00:27:58.649 --> 00:28:00.359
on the amount of degrees of came down on
00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:04.729
a 5-iron its problem I I don't have
00:28:04.729 --> 00:28:07.369
extensive data on that I could probably
00:28:07.369 --> 00:28:09.960
talk to some of my buddies and find it
00:28:09.960 --> 00:28:12.059
all the time my head I'm gonna say
00:28:12.059 --> 00:28:14.190
somewhere around three maybe four
00:28:14.190 --> 00:28:17.119
degrees down is probably pretty close
00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:20.639
the the sweep first hit down is a little
00:28:20.639 --> 00:28:23.190
tricky because what when some people
00:28:23.190 --> 00:28:25.409
feel sweeping they'll get that four
00:28:25.409 --> 00:28:27.929
degrees forward and oftentimes when
00:28:27.929 --> 00:28:30.719
golfers try to hit down they do it with
00:28:30.719 --> 00:28:33.719
more of a forward lunge and then end up
00:28:33.719 --> 00:28:36.690
scooping and they don't hit down as much
00:28:36.690 --> 00:28:39.509
as the the phrase I like is trying to
00:28:39.509 --> 00:28:41.669
hit forward of the golf ball so working
00:28:41.669 --> 00:28:43.799
on where the club brushes the ground if
00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:46.289
you have it brushing slightly ahead of
00:28:46.289 --> 00:28:48.809
the golf ball so let's say from the
00:28:48.809 --> 00:28:50.789
middle of the golf ball onward then
00:28:50.789 --> 00:28:53.129
you're going to hit down at least a
00:28:53.129 --> 00:28:55.070
couple degrees which is gonna be
00:28:55.070 --> 00:28:57.269
depending on your club head speed all
00:28:57.269 --> 00:28:59.489
you really need
00:28:59.489 --> 00:29:03.479
Kevin's asking slightly off topic how do
00:29:03.479 --> 00:29:05.639
you get heavyset guys big-chested
00:29:05.639 --> 00:29:08.309
perhaps to get their right arm into
00:29:08.309 --> 00:29:10.499
external rotation P four to six or
00:29:10.499 --> 00:29:12.359
better said lay the shaft down
00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:17.309
shallowing honestly I usually do it more
00:29:17.309 --> 00:29:22.440
with the lead arm it is it's challenging
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:26.009
to have that much mass in the way of
00:29:26.009 --> 00:29:26.800
where
00:29:26.800 --> 00:29:30.700
your right shoulder needs to go so what
00:29:30.700 --> 00:29:32.710
I would what I've seen you know from
00:29:32.710 --> 00:29:35.830
some of the the bigger guys on tour
00:29:35.830 --> 00:29:37.950
you'll tend to see almost like a
00:29:37.950 --> 00:29:41.080
relaxation of the grip in transition
00:29:41.080 --> 00:29:43.000
you'll see a little bit of kind of
00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:46.300
spacing happen so that that right arm
00:29:46.300 --> 00:29:48.880
can essentially get out of the way but
00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:50.080
the shaft is still getting into a
00:29:50.080 --> 00:29:52.870
shallower position so I do a lot I do a
00:29:52.870 --> 00:29:55.300
lot of lead arm training with some of my
00:29:55.300 --> 00:30:00.820
bigger guys Oh William Brahm I hope you
00:30:00.820 --> 00:30:02.550
at least mentioned my use of the Pels
00:30:02.550 --> 00:30:05.170
learning aids I'm not on his payroll
00:30:05.170 --> 00:30:08.320
they almost bypass the need for focus
00:30:08.320 --> 00:30:10.960
because the focus is so immediate in
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:15.490
drastic idea so it's different skills
00:30:15.490 --> 00:30:18.550
when we're getting into putting than the
00:30:18.550 --> 00:30:20.320
full swing for putting the three main
00:30:20.320 --> 00:30:23.820
skills are starting a ball on line
00:30:23.820 --> 00:30:27.250
controlling distance and with tempo and
00:30:27.250 --> 00:30:30.220
length of Swing and reading a green so
00:30:30.220 --> 00:30:33.520
for reading a green I will use things
00:30:33.520 --> 00:30:36.700
like the perfect putter with the perfect
00:30:36.700 --> 00:30:38.230
putter you have to recognize that it
00:30:38.230 --> 00:30:40.540
gets the ball rolling a little faster
00:30:40.540 --> 00:30:43.570
than you would off the putter so while
00:30:43.570 --> 00:30:47.050
it rolls a perfect putt it does not show
00:30:47.050 --> 00:30:49.210
the accurate break of what the putt
00:30:49.210 --> 00:30:51.460
would be if you hit it with a putter it
00:30:51.460 --> 00:30:53.710
will show the accurate break of maybe if
00:30:53.710 --> 00:30:56.770
you had the device a foot behind where
00:30:56.770 --> 00:30:59.200
you're actually putting from but that
00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:02.860
can help with green reading I like to
00:31:02.860 --> 00:31:06.730
use digital levels and the the aim point
00:31:06.730 --> 00:31:11.170
lie board to help golfers learn how to
00:31:11.170 --> 00:31:14.290
feel slope with their feet and then as
00:31:14.290 --> 00:31:18.150
far as start line their their devices
00:31:18.150 --> 00:31:20.860
you know that can help with ball rolling
00:31:20.860 --> 00:31:24.930
end over end you can use gates tees
00:31:24.930 --> 00:31:29.650
whether it's the the Pels forget the
00:31:29.650 --> 00:31:31.150
name of it but the little triangle thing
00:31:31.150 --> 00:31:33.340
with the marbles I think is great all
00:31:33.340 --> 00:31:35.010
those things that force you into
00:31:35.010 --> 00:31:37.680
committing to a start line
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:39.600
work really well one of the simplest
00:31:39.600 --> 00:31:41.400
ones is you take a dime and you place it
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:44.220
a little more than two feet in front of
00:31:44.220 --> 00:31:46.950
the golf ball a dime place that two feet
00:31:46.950 --> 00:31:48.900
in front of the golf ball has the same
00:31:48.900 --> 00:31:51.630
geometry of the hole at about ten feet
00:31:51.630 --> 00:31:55.080
so if you can roll a ball over a dime
00:31:55.080 --> 00:31:57.780
then you can basically make a straight
00:31:57.780 --> 00:32:00.630
ten footer at least your alignment and
00:32:00.630 --> 00:32:02.520
start line says that you can make it and
00:32:02.520 --> 00:32:05.970
then as far as speed control I do like
00:32:05.970 --> 00:32:10.530
to use metronomes and and tees or things
00:32:10.530 --> 00:32:12.960
like the the Vizio mat just to work on
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:17.550
kind of pacing and work on controlling
00:32:17.550 --> 00:32:20.040
the length of the swing so with putting
00:32:20.040 --> 00:32:23.190
I would say there's a couple different
00:32:23.190 --> 00:32:25.050
ways you can approach distance control
00:32:25.050 --> 00:32:26.580
which is one of the more challenging
00:32:26.580 --> 00:32:30.870
skills I you can approach distance
00:32:30.870 --> 00:32:33.840
control by either creating one baseline
00:32:33.840 --> 00:32:36.300
putting stroke and then like let's say
00:32:36.300 --> 00:32:39.600
I'm gonna take the putter back to just
00:32:39.600 --> 00:32:42.270
outside my own let's say six inches
00:32:42.270 --> 00:32:43.530
outside my foot I'm gonna take it back
00:32:43.530 --> 00:32:45.180
to six inches outside my foot and I'm
00:32:45.180 --> 00:32:46.740
gonna try to hit it the same distance
00:32:46.740 --> 00:32:50.070
every single time I can place tees on
00:32:50.070 --> 00:32:52.800
the ground or I can use the metronome to
00:32:52.800 --> 00:32:55.950
help make sure that my putting tempo is
00:32:55.950 --> 00:32:58.140
pretty consistent and then if I take it
00:32:58.140 --> 00:33:00.630
back the same length swing I should be
00:33:00.630 --> 00:33:03.240
able to get it to stop within about a
00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:05.940
foot to let's say two feet depending on
00:33:05.940 --> 00:33:10.590
how far that putt is well then if I have
00:33:10.590 --> 00:33:12.390
this baseline and I know about how far
00:33:12.390 --> 00:33:15.570
that goes I can go a little shorter for
00:33:15.570 --> 00:33:17.280
short putts and a little longer for long
00:33:17.280 --> 00:33:19.290
putts and I can use that as my
00:33:19.290 --> 00:33:21.540
calibration whenever I go to a new
00:33:21.540 --> 00:33:25.890
course so again for putting there's lots
00:33:25.890 --> 00:33:28.230
of devices to work on start line there's
00:33:28.230 --> 00:33:33.120
lots of devices to help with path but
00:33:33.120 --> 00:33:37.620
really path is secondary to face control
00:33:37.620 --> 00:33:40.560
in putting so if you're if you can
00:33:40.560 --> 00:33:42.930
control the face to start it online you
00:33:42.930 --> 00:33:44.730
can control your tempo to roll it the
00:33:44.730 --> 00:33:46.260
distance you want and you can read
00:33:46.260 --> 00:33:50.060
greens you can be a really good putter
00:33:50.299 --> 00:33:54.090
okay I had one other question from Jim
00:33:54.090 --> 00:33:57.659
who I see signed on he was asking about
00:33:57.659 --> 00:34:01.980
and this is a this is a little separate
00:34:01.980 --> 00:34:05.610
from the training aid discussion I
00:34:05.610 --> 00:34:07.980
covered most of the training aids on the
00:34:07.980 --> 00:34:10.829
list but if you have any that I didn't
00:34:10.829 --> 00:34:13.260
cover just type them in the chat box
00:34:13.260 --> 00:34:16.589
right now his question was more on like
00:34:16.589 --> 00:34:18.210
power source training and sequencing
00:34:18.210 --> 00:34:21.379
training so he was asking about left arm
00:34:21.379 --> 00:34:24.750
adduction in transition followed by
00:34:24.750 --> 00:34:27.510
abduction through the ball it creates a
00:34:27.510 --> 00:34:29.879
little bit of a shoulder load loading
00:34:29.879 --> 00:34:33.089
swing a slingshot it's helpful for
00:34:33.089 --> 00:34:37.079
getting the low point forward but it's
00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:38.909
really helpful for getting the arkwide
00:34:38.909 --> 00:34:41.700
in the follow-through if you do the
00:34:41.700 --> 00:34:45.359
opposite or if you disconnect too soon
00:34:45.359 --> 00:34:47.700
then what I'll typically happen is the
00:34:47.700 --> 00:34:49.980
club will pass your chest too early and
00:34:49.980 --> 00:34:52.470
once the club passes your chest you're
00:34:52.470 --> 00:34:54.629
gonna have to bend your arms in order to
00:34:54.629 --> 00:34:58.740
absorb the speed so this question was
00:34:58.740 --> 00:35:00.599
basically what promotes this is it a
00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:02.430
natural movement of the body or is it
00:35:02.430 --> 00:35:05.490
something the arms should do if the arms
00:35:05.490 --> 00:35:09.450
are soft and relaxed then if my body
00:35:09.450 --> 00:35:12.630
turns into my arm that's gonna load my
00:35:12.630 --> 00:35:15.720
shoulder I never want my golfers
00:35:15.720 --> 00:35:18.660
thinking of kind of pulling away from
00:35:18.660 --> 00:35:21.380
the target there was a there was a
00:35:21.380 --> 00:35:23.849
phrase that I loved when I heard a
00:35:23.849 --> 00:35:27.540
javelin throw or a javelin coach talk
00:35:27.540 --> 00:35:29.849
about teaching javelin throw and that
00:35:29.849 --> 00:35:32.460
basically you run away from the drab
00:35:32.460 --> 00:35:34.109
javelin you don't pull it back
00:35:34.109 --> 00:35:35.880
you always want energy moving in the
00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:37.380
direction of the target but in order to
00:35:37.380 --> 00:35:39.859
fire muscles you need to stretch them so
00:35:39.859 --> 00:35:43.560
instead of pulling the javelin back and
00:35:43.560 --> 00:35:46.260
then letting it go you keep that javelin
00:35:46.260 --> 00:35:48.119
in space and you move your shoulder away
00:35:48.119 --> 00:35:50.940
from it faster and then let it go so
00:35:50.940 --> 00:35:52.410
you've got energy always moving in the
00:35:52.410 --> 00:35:54.930
direction of the target so even though
00:35:54.930 --> 00:35:57.089
I'm going to create this load of my
00:35:57.089 --> 00:35:59.119
shoulder it's not because I'm
00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:01.069
my shoulder back it's because I have
00:36:01.069 --> 00:36:03.109
good sequencing in my lower body is
00:36:03.109 --> 00:36:06.049
turning into the shoulder faster than my
00:36:06.049 --> 00:36:08.119
arm is pulling away from it and that
00:36:08.119 --> 00:36:10.670
loads the stretch in a more productive
00:36:10.670 --> 00:36:13.490
way or a more powerful way the
00:36:13.490 --> 00:36:15.920
consequences of not doing it correctly
00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:19.910
is if you don't load into the shoulder
00:36:19.910 --> 00:36:22.970
it means that your sequencing is off it
00:36:22.970 --> 00:36:24.680
means that you're firing more your
00:36:24.680 --> 00:36:27.829
shoulders first and then your core would
00:36:27.829 --> 00:36:30.619
have to basically catch up or stabilize
00:36:30.619 --> 00:36:33.950
it so it could again potentially zap you
00:36:33.950 --> 00:36:37.839
of some power and it could potentially
00:36:37.839 --> 00:36:40.779
that would be the it could potentially
00:36:40.779 --> 00:36:42.950
affect you with the driver because it
00:36:42.950 --> 00:36:44.960
would prevent you from getting the wide
00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:47.869
point later and later it would tend to
00:36:47.869 --> 00:36:49.339
cause your right arm to have to
00:36:49.339 --> 00:36:51.890
straighten a little bit too soon which
00:36:51.890 --> 00:36:54.170
would tend your body to cause your body
00:36:54.170 --> 00:36:57.710
to stall a little bit so now the thing
00:36:57.710 --> 00:37:01.249
that it could challenge you with is if
00:37:01.249 --> 00:37:03.200
you aren't really comfortable getting
00:37:03.200 --> 00:37:05.450
shaft rotation or if you're not really
00:37:05.450 --> 00:37:07.420
comfortable powering it with your body
00:37:07.420 --> 00:37:11.900
then it could cause you to almost have
00:37:11.900 --> 00:37:13.700
the opposite effect of good sequencing
00:37:13.700 --> 00:37:16.400
okay it could cause you to get out of
00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:18.499
position and out of timing and it could
00:37:18.499 --> 00:37:19.999
prevent you from getting the clubface
00:37:19.999 --> 00:37:22.519
too square especially if you get more of
00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:24.440
your squaring from straightening that
00:37:24.440 --> 00:37:28.009
trail arm instead of just rotating the
00:37:28.009 --> 00:37:30.769
club shaft with the forearms as your
00:37:30.769 --> 00:37:36.440
body is powering it what about let's see
00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:38.589
you've got a couple other questions
00:37:38.589 --> 00:37:42.230
Golden Gate coming in do you believe in
00:37:42.230 --> 00:37:45.230
chunking to get swing in memory we're
00:37:45.230 --> 00:37:48.650
taking at least 200 the 300 swings for a
00:37:48.650 --> 00:37:51.230
new technique your thought is the winter
00:37:51.230 --> 00:37:54.140
a good time for repetition practice yes
00:37:54.140 --> 00:37:57.380
I I'm absolutely a big fan of chunking
00:37:57.380 --> 00:38:01.160
I'll I'll tell my students that the
00:38:01.160 --> 00:38:03.589
research I've seen shows that you would
00:38:03.589 --> 00:38:06.289
your goal is frequency not necessarily
00:38:06.289 --> 00:38:07.350
duration so
00:38:07.350 --> 00:38:10.320
if you're doing ten minutes five times a
00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:12.060
day that's probably better than doing
00:38:12.060 --> 00:38:15.840
two hours once a day so if you're if
00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:18.510
you're able to you know even do
00:38:18.510 --> 00:38:20.790
slow-motion practice or a little bit at
00:38:20.790 --> 00:38:21.560
home
00:38:21.560 --> 00:38:24.150
I'll give them toothbrush drills so
00:38:24.150 --> 00:38:26.430
things that you can work on in the
00:38:26.430 --> 00:38:29.430
morning or in the evening standing in
00:38:29.430 --> 00:38:31.350
the elevator you know we've all seen
00:38:31.350 --> 00:38:33.000
that PGA Tour commercial where people
00:38:33.000 --> 00:38:34.350
are practicing their swing at all
00:38:34.350 --> 00:38:36.570
different points that can be really
00:38:36.570 --> 00:38:40.170
useful if you have a hitting station
00:38:40.170 --> 00:38:42.480
either in your basement or garage doing
00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:46.860
shorter sets is a is something that'll
00:38:46.860 --> 00:38:54.750
usually speed up the learning so but as
00:38:54.750 --> 00:38:57.180
far as taking at least 200 to 300 swings
00:38:57.180 --> 00:39:01.100
it it depends on how good your
00:39:01.100 --> 00:39:05.850
vocabulary is so basically the better
00:39:05.850 --> 00:39:08.790
your body awareness the better your
00:39:08.790 --> 00:39:12.630
understanding of the different phases of
00:39:12.630 --> 00:39:15.060
your swing so if you understand your
00:39:15.060 --> 00:39:17.430
release you understand your transition
00:39:17.430 --> 00:39:20.070
you'll be able to make swings a whole
00:39:20.070 --> 00:39:22.980
lot or swing changes a lot faster than
00:39:22.980 --> 00:39:26.850
someone who does not so if you're early
00:39:26.850 --> 00:39:28.740
in the learning stages it may even be
00:39:28.740 --> 00:39:30.900
more than that maybe more like 500 to a
00:39:30.900 --> 00:39:35.280
thousand so you know essentially like 10
00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:39.570
buckets of balls or so but if you if you
00:39:39.570 --> 00:39:42.360
have a solid understanding of your stock
00:39:42.360 --> 00:39:44.730
swing I think you can be less than that
00:39:44.730 --> 00:39:46.860
I think it could be closer to the you
00:39:46.860 --> 00:39:51.060
know 2 to 3 buckets but usually it's not
00:39:51.060 --> 00:39:52.710
gonna happen overnight you are gonna
00:39:52.710 --> 00:39:54.840
have to put in some practice before
00:39:54.840 --> 00:39:57.990
it'll even show up in flashes on the
00:39:57.990 --> 00:40:00.120
course
00:40:00.120 --> 00:40:02.640
chrisp admins asking what about trades
00:40:02.640 --> 00:40:05.610
for neural training or is that another
00:40:05.610 --> 00:40:09.650
episode you know that's that's probably
00:40:09.650 --> 00:40:12.870
another episode there's the one of the
00:40:12.870 --> 00:40:16.500
things that I will pass on there's
00:40:16.500 --> 00:40:18.870
there's a couple different
00:40:18.870 --> 00:40:20.790
devices out there like there's the halo
00:40:20.790 --> 00:40:25.050
there's Debbie cruises that uses the
00:40:25.050 --> 00:40:25.680
muse
00:40:25.680 --> 00:40:28.920
there's the focus band one of the things
00:40:28.920 --> 00:40:30.960
that I've learned from looking in that
00:40:30.960 --> 00:40:34.470
space is that there's two different
00:40:34.470 --> 00:40:36.030
schools one teaches focus and the other
00:40:36.030 --> 00:40:40.050
teaches relaxation relaxation is best
00:40:40.050 --> 00:40:43.230
done in between shots and focus is best
00:40:43.230 --> 00:40:45.810
done in the play box or over the ball so
00:40:45.810 --> 00:40:48.660
they teach slightly different skills you
00:40:48.660 --> 00:40:51.270
just have to know which it is that you
00:40:51.270 --> 00:40:54.060
need to be able to apply but trying to
00:40:54.060 --> 00:40:56.760
get in a really mellow relaxed state
00:40:56.760 --> 00:40:59.700
over the ball is not the same thing as
00:40:59.700 --> 00:41:02.760
being focused so I'm a little cautious
00:41:02.760 --> 00:41:06.390
on using things like the focus band over
00:41:06.390 --> 00:41:08.220
the ball I think the focus man trains a
00:41:08.220 --> 00:41:11.760
great skill but it's not the skill you
00:41:11.760 --> 00:41:15.030
would want in the state of when you're
00:41:15.030 --> 00:41:19.410
actually executing the shot the swing
00:41:19.410 --> 00:41:20.910
my guess is actually about a swing
00:41:20.910 --> 00:41:23.280
extender yes he you send the email swing
00:41:23.280 --> 00:41:25.740
extender is this plastic device that
00:41:25.740 --> 00:41:29.100
goes in between here basically it
00:41:29.100 --> 00:41:31.530
prevents you from over bending your arm
00:41:31.530 --> 00:41:36.300
on the backswing but I have have seen it
00:41:36.300 --> 00:41:39.300
used successfully in trying to Train
00:41:39.300 --> 00:41:43.170
keeping the bend during the down swing
00:41:43.170 --> 00:41:46.950
the key the key is the down the line a
00:41:46.950 --> 00:41:48.570
lot of golfers who would work on that
00:41:48.570 --> 00:41:51.690
would still get the club too far out in
00:41:51.690 --> 00:41:53.340
front of them so you'd have to make sure
00:41:53.340 --> 00:41:55.020
that you're getting some of the
00:41:55.020 --> 00:41:56.880
shallowing as you're keeping that Bend
00:41:56.880 --> 00:41:59.280
and that shallowing would come more from
00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:02.330
the external rotation or from the lead
00:42:02.330 --> 00:42:06.000
lead form rotation instead of actively
00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:11.790
from the shoulder but that can be that
00:42:11.790 --> 00:42:13.110
can be useful if that's your main
00:42:13.110 --> 00:42:15.210
barrier like let's say you're working on
00:42:15.210 --> 00:42:17.580
sequencing and you recognize you see it
00:42:17.580 --> 00:42:19.890
on video you see that your main barrier
00:42:19.890 --> 00:42:21.750
to sequencing is that right arm tends to
00:42:21.750 --> 00:42:24.150
get straight too soon then doing
00:42:24.150 --> 00:42:26.850
something to actively prevent you from
00:42:26.850 --> 00:42:28.500
straightening it too soon will help
00:42:28.500 --> 00:42:31.320
encourage the body to lead longer and
00:42:31.320 --> 00:42:31.600
longer
00:42:31.600 --> 00:42:33.670
in the downswing so that's the smart way
00:42:33.670 --> 00:42:38.550
to use the training aids is to use it to
00:42:38.550 --> 00:42:41.410
directly affect one skill don't just use
00:42:41.410 --> 00:42:43.390
it because you think that it's the right
00:42:43.390 --> 00:42:45.780
thing to do
00:42:45.780 --> 00:42:49.540
all right how about the pitch grip I
00:42:49.540 --> 00:42:54.250
don't don't know what the pitch grip is
00:42:54.250 --> 00:42:57.850
so shoot me an email about that one and
00:42:57.850 --> 00:42:59.250
I'll take a look at it
00:42:59.250 --> 00:43:02.260
chris is asking about the halo I haven't
00:43:02.260 --> 00:43:04.870
used the halo myself one of my
00:43:04.870 --> 00:43:07.240
colleagues does speak highly of it but I
00:43:07.240 --> 00:43:09.130
have yet to get my hands on one and try
00:43:09.130 --> 00:43:13.120
one I've tried the muse and I like it
00:43:13.120 --> 00:43:15.610
but I have yet to try the halo on that
00:43:15.610 --> 00:43:22.150
side any aids for the release yes the
00:43:22.150 --> 00:43:23.830
well the impact snap helps the release
00:43:23.830 --> 00:43:28.390
again if you're using it correctly the
00:43:28.390 --> 00:43:33.790
educator works on the release I my
00:43:33.790 --> 00:43:35.740
favorite way to train the releases with
00:43:35.740 --> 00:43:39.970
the single arm drills and just basically
00:43:39.970 --> 00:43:42.430
being a little bit more aware of the
00:43:42.430 --> 00:43:45.070
proper movements and sequencing of the
00:43:45.070 --> 00:43:46.990
shoulders and the arms through the
00:43:46.990 --> 00:43:51.070
release I'm playing around with kind of
00:43:51.070 --> 00:43:52.630
creating some stuff that I think will
00:43:52.630 --> 00:43:55.750
help with that but I haven't seen
00:43:55.750 --> 00:43:58.600
anything great yet on the market that
00:43:58.600 --> 00:44:02.200
specifically trains either the trail or
00:44:02.200 --> 00:44:04.390
the lead arm there's a bunch of things
00:44:04.390 --> 00:44:06.550
that train kind of the club but I
00:44:06.550 --> 00:44:08.080
haven't seen anything that trains the
00:44:08.080 --> 00:44:10.270
whole arm which is why I'm I'm working
00:44:10.270 --> 00:44:15.130
on stuff for that all right we've got we
00:44:15.130 --> 00:44:18.790
got time for maybe one more if anything
00:44:18.790 --> 00:44:22.600
comes in quickly I want to sorry for the
00:44:22.600 --> 00:44:26.230
little audio issue this time I will
00:44:26.230 --> 00:44:29.320
however basically I'll make sure that
00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:34.330
the mic is plugged in next time one
00:44:34.330 --> 00:44:37.510
quick last question any training aids
00:44:37.510 --> 00:44:41.620
for the lower body sequencing well um so
00:44:41.620 --> 00:44:44.800
that's a great question so lower body
00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:45.549
sequencing
00:44:45.549 --> 00:44:49.509
the the things that I like to do to work
00:44:49.509 --> 00:44:51.640
on improving lower-body sequencing is to
00:44:51.640 --> 00:44:53.919
get you aware of how your feet need to
00:44:53.919 --> 00:44:56.319
work against the ground so my favorite
00:44:56.319 --> 00:44:57.939
things to do especially in the offseason
00:44:57.939 --> 00:45:02.799
are more like lateral agility drills you
00:45:02.799 --> 00:45:07.289
know people who like to ice skate right
00:45:07.289 --> 00:45:11.169
helps learn how to push against the
00:45:11.169 --> 00:45:14.109
ground properly typically I find that
00:45:14.109 --> 00:45:16.419
golfers who struggle more with the lower
00:45:16.419 --> 00:45:20.140
body sequencing have poorer balance poor
00:45:20.140 --> 00:45:22.869
foot ankle awareness and have never done
00:45:22.869 --> 00:45:24.489
any skills where they had to move
00:45:24.489 --> 00:45:28.359
laterally or change direction quickly
00:45:28.359 --> 00:45:31.959
and and so doing things working on
00:45:31.959 --> 00:45:34.359
that's why things like step drills and
00:45:34.359 --> 00:45:37.419
step drills swinging the rope work
00:45:37.419 --> 00:45:40.809
really well though the the leader board
00:45:40.809 --> 00:45:42.479
was an interesting device because it got
00:45:42.479 --> 00:45:46.509
good muscle activation but it didn't
00:45:46.509 --> 00:45:49.569
necessarily train the proper foot
00:45:49.569 --> 00:45:54.099
mechanics so I ID fault two lateral
00:45:54.099 --> 00:45:57.519
shuffles lateral bounding and then step
00:45:57.519 --> 00:46:02.409
drills working on the Jackson 5 but for
00:46:02.409 --> 00:46:04.329
those who do rollerblading and ice
00:46:04.329 --> 00:46:06.249
skating work really well for helping
00:46:06.249 --> 00:46:09.429
train lower body sequencing just make
00:46:09.429 --> 00:46:11.469
sure you know how to ice-skate before
00:46:11.469 --> 00:46:14.229
you go out there and try to do it
00:46:14.229 --> 00:46:18.279
explosively if you have any other any
00:46:18.279 --> 00:46:20.259
other thoughts we're kind of coming to
00:46:20.259 --> 00:46:21.939
the end of our our time here so if you
00:46:21.939 --> 00:46:23.469
have any other questions feel free to
00:46:23.469 --> 00:46:26.049
shoot me an email at support at golf
00:46:26.049 --> 00:46:27.069
smart academy.com
00:46:27.069 --> 00:46:29.019
or if you have any suggestions for
00:46:29.019 --> 00:46:31.449
topics you'd like to see covered in
00:46:31.449 --> 00:46:33.869
future q A's
00:46:33.869 --> 00:46:36.579
thanks for everyone for writing in their
00:46:36.579 --> 00:46:39.399
questions happy New Year to everyone out
00:46:39.399 --> 00:46:44.289
there and happy 2018 if you haven't
00:46:44.289 --> 00:46:49.449
checked it out we've got I've got my my
00:46:49.449 --> 00:46:52.329
book we're closing in on selling 500
00:46:52.329 --> 00:46:56.799
copies perfect thank you very much so
00:46:56.799 --> 00:46:57.860
we've got the
00:46:57.860 --> 00:46:59.630
the book that I launched in November
00:46:59.630 --> 00:47:02.510
will probably do a QA where we'll just
00:47:02.510 --> 00:47:05.330
go through questions based on topics
00:47:05.330 --> 00:47:07.250
that I've covered in the book that was
00:47:07.250 --> 00:47:08.630
one suggestion and we'll get that
00:47:08.630 --> 00:47:12.320
probably going pretty soon it's been
00:47:12.320 --> 00:47:13.850
pretty well received I'm pretty happy
00:47:13.850 --> 00:47:14.330
with it
00:47:14.330 --> 00:47:17.360
so I love if you check it out and review
00:47:17.360 --> 00:47:19.220
it on Amazon that's where we're
00:47:19.220 --> 00:47:21.680
currently selling it if you have any
00:47:21.680 --> 00:47:26.150
questions about training AIDS offseason
00:47:26.150 --> 00:47:28.220
programs again send them to support and
00:47:28.220 --> 00:47:30.200
I'll answer them directly but thanks
00:47:30.200 --> 00:47:34.160
again for everybody for yeah I'll put
00:47:34.160 --> 00:47:37.640
the up with the Oh put the link to the
00:47:37.640 --> 00:47:40.600
right arm drills in the link below
00:47:40.600 --> 00:47:43.730
absolutely Chris I'll see hit the next
00:47:43.730 --> 00:47:45.530
class and I'll be sure to sign your copy
00:47:45.530 --> 00:47:48.800
all right thank you again for signing in
00:47:48.800 --> 00:47:51.260
I look forward to seeing you guys in the
00:47:51.260 --> 00:47:54.860
next Q&A as always good luck and happy
00:47:54.860 --> 00:47:57.220
golfing
00:00:00.079 --> 00:00:02.280
anyway just building off what we did
00:00:02.280 --> 00:00:06.319
last week we were talking mostly about
00:00:06.319 --> 00:00:13.559
getting a couple all right
00:00:13.559 --> 00:00:15.540
most people are saying that we're good
00:00:15.540 --> 00:00:17.390
to go
00:00:17.390 --> 00:00:20.039
should be all set
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:22.220
um building off of what we did last week
00:00:22.220 --> 00:00:24.810
where we were talking about offseason
00:00:24.810 --> 00:00:26.970
training programs and and working either
00:00:26.970 --> 00:00:32.250
in the gym or on the range I thought
00:00:32.250 --> 00:00:34.170
that training is would be a good topic
00:00:34.170 --> 00:00:36.360
because I get periodic questions either
00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:40.170
from my students in person or from you
00:00:40.170 --> 00:00:43.230
guys through the site and training aids
00:00:43.230 --> 00:00:45.950
can be really helpful or they can
00:00:45.950 --> 00:00:49.410
absolutely derail what you're working on
00:00:49.410 --> 00:00:52.770
and I'll use a few examples of golfers
00:00:52.770 --> 00:00:54.360
in the past who have sabotage what we
00:00:54.360 --> 00:00:55.920
were working on by using the wrong
00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:01.620
training but before we before we jump
00:01:01.620 --> 00:01:03.329
into specific training aids and what
00:01:03.329 --> 00:01:05.939
they work on let me just kind of paint
00:01:05.939 --> 00:01:08.939
the big picture you want to use training
00:01:08.939 --> 00:01:15.840
aids I see why would someone have to
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:20.720
audios Wes or Flores
00:01:27.030 --> 00:01:36.720
that's what I've used in the past what
00:01:37.289 --> 00:01:42.340
I'm I see that I see that money out
00:01:42.340 --> 00:01:44.920
there has two different audios um I
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:49.420
would check I would check your
00:01:49.420 --> 00:01:51.220
particular output because we just
00:01:51.220 --> 00:01:52.509
checked it here and it seems like we're
00:01:52.509 --> 00:01:58.330
pretty good so anyway I I want you to
00:01:58.330 --> 00:02:01.110
always know what you're working on so
00:02:01.110 --> 00:02:04.030
there are there are a few key skills
00:02:04.030 --> 00:02:05.380
that you want to work on whenever you're
00:02:05.380 --> 00:02:07.420
trying to improve your golf game one is
00:02:07.420 --> 00:02:10.080
how you create speed which would include
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:14.920
sequencing drills and let's say rhythm
00:02:14.920 --> 00:02:15.670
drills
00:02:15.670 --> 00:02:17.799
how are you power your swing so speed
00:02:17.799 --> 00:02:20.440
training all that stuff the second piece
00:02:20.440 --> 00:02:24.579
would be looking at controlling the path
00:02:24.579 --> 00:02:28.030
and the path can include the horizontal
00:02:28.030 --> 00:02:30.250
swing direction so the direction that
00:02:30.250 --> 00:02:32.500
the swing plane or path is pointing as
00:02:32.500 --> 00:02:35.650
well as low point control if you have a
00:02:35.650 --> 00:02:37.690
good path you will make solid contact if
00:02:37.690 --> 00:02:39.639
you don't have a good path you will not
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:42.850
make good solid contact and then the
00:02:42.850 --> 00:02:44.889
last scale is working on clubface
00:02:44.889 --> 00:02:51.069
control so working on working on how you
00:02:51.069 --> 00:02:55.030
orient the clubface compared to the path
00:02:55.030 --> 00:02:57.819
so if your ball has a lot of curve to it
00:02:57.819 --> 00:03:00.459
then the club face is pointing in the
00:03:00.459 --> 00:03:02.410
direction of the curve compared to the
00:03:02.410 --> 00:03:05.170
path and so once you figure out which of
00:03:05.170 --> 00:03:06.910
those skills you really want to work on
00:03:06.910 --> 00:03:10.389
then you can use a training aid to help
00:03:10.389 --> 00:03:14.380
you correct that specific issue but
00:03:14.380 --> 00:03:16.090
don't just buy a training aid and use it
00:03:16.090 --> 00:03:18.010
just because it's the latest greatest
00:03:18.010 --> 00:03:19.959
thing make sure it's gonna solve your
00:03:19.959 --> 00:03:24.519
specific problems so I've got a list
00:03:24.519 --> 00:03:26.889
here of training aids that most of you
00:03:26.889 --> 00:03:31.840
sent in beforehand if you if you have
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:34.050
any questions or any other
00:03:34.050 --> 00:03:36.840
specific training AIDS go ahead and
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:38.850
shoot them in the text I'll check that
00:03:38.850 --> 00:03:43.970
periodically by far the the most common
00:03:43.970 --> 00:03:48.210
so I tell you about 50% of the emails I
00:03:48.210 --> 00:03:50.520
got included what do you think of the
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.910
orange whip so if we filter back to
00:03:53.910 --> 00:03:55.980
thinking about are we working on path
00:03:55.980 --> 00:03:58.380
are we working on face are we working on
00:03:58.380 --> 00:04:01.080
speed the orange whip is really good at
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.240
working on sequencing there's a couple
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:05.880
guys in the 3d space who have done a
00:04:05.880 --> 00:04:07.560
fair amount of research and shown that
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:10.650
in general kinematic sequences get
00:04:10.650 --> 00:04:12.390
better when you're swinging the orange
00:04:12.390 --> 00:04:15.360
whip you'll also notice that it tends to
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.120
improve the swing path so if you're
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.160
trying to figure out what it feels like
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:23.820
to swing from the inside orange whip is
00:04:23.820 --> 00:04:27.240
a great way to get that feeling now the
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:30.900
problem is it doesn't work on the two
00:04:30.900 --> 00:04:33.000
other key skills so it doesn't work on
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.400
low point control in fact in many cases
00:04:35.400 --> 00:04:38.820
it will cause your low point control to
00:04:38.820 --> 00:04:40.770
move backward and get behind the golf
00:04:40.770 --> 00:04:43.860
ball so if you struggle with low point
00:04:43.860 --> 00:04:47.810
control then this training aid can often
00:04:47.810 --> 00:04:50.490
make it worse especially if you use it
00:04:50.490 --> 00:04:53.310
as a daily warmup the other thing that
00:04:53.310 --> 00:04:55.350
it doesn't work on is it doesn't work on
00:04:55.350 --> 00:04:59.100
club clubface control so it it doesn't
00:04:59.100 --> 00:05:02.280
really help you learn to rotate the
00:05:02.280 --> 00:05:04.170
forearms and orient the face you can get
00:05:04.170 --> 00:05:06.360
away with kind of a scoop flip because
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:08.340
you're not really making contact with
00:05:08.340 --> 00:05:12.900
the ground so again while missing those
00:05:12.900 --> 00:05:16.980
two skills it can make a lumber of swing
00:05:16.980 --> 00:05:20.130
patterns hit the ball worse it can cause
00:05:20.130 --> 00:05:22.980
you to hit it on the it can cause you to
00:05:22.980 --> 00:05:24.600
hit it fat it can cause you to hit it on
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:28.020
the toe it can mess up contact so if
00:05:28.020 --> 00:05:30.600
you're already pretty good at moving low
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.030
point around like you you do some of the
00:05:33.030 --> 00:05:34.860
playing with low point drill where you
00:05:34.860 --> 00:05:37.770
work on hitting low point behind the
00:05:37.770 --> 00:05:39.150
ball low point even with the ball low
00:05:39.150 --> 00:05:40.530
point in front and you work on that
00:05:40.530 --> 00:05:43.950
spectrum then you shouldn't be worried
00:05:43.950 --> 00:05:46.110
about doing a skill that's gonna improve
00:05:46.110 --> 00:05:47.160
your sequencing
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:49.890
improve your speed because you'll know
00:05:49.890 --> 00:05:51.600
how to move the low point back forward
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:53.940
but if you're not very good at that low
00:05:53.940 --> 00:05:57.180
point control drill then I would say
00:05:57.180 --> 00:05:59.630
that the orange whip is at best case
00:05:59.630 --> 00:06:01.860
kind of we'll give it a yellow flag
00:06:01.860 --> 00:06:04.440
right it's it's risky because it codes
00:06:04.440 --> 00:06:06.150
cause you to hit a lot of fat and thin
00:06:06.150 --> 00:06:08.280
shots by moving the low point backward
00:06:08.280 --> 00:06:09.780
by getting your path coming a little bit
00:06:09.780 --> 00:06:14.160
more from the inside the the second
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.500
training aid that I had the greatest
00:06:16.500 --> 00:06:18.150
number of questions about is the super
00:06:18.150 --> 00:06:20.030
speed system right because this is the
00:06:20.030 --> 00:06:22.140
offseason everybody wants to hit the
00:06:22.140 --> 00:06:25.920
ball further so the super speed system
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.790
on paper makes a lot of sense and it it
00:06:29.790 --> 00:06:32.670
has the probably the same advant
00:06:32.670 --> 00:06:35.310
advantage and challenges as the orange
00:06:35.310 --> 00:06:37.710
whip so it really helps with sequencing
00:06:37.710 --> 00:06:40.680
it really helps with improving your path
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:43.890
because it's harder to swing something
00:06:43.890 --> 00:06:47.850
off path as fast as you can when it's on
00:06:47.850 --> 00:06:52.110
plane and as a result typically when you
00:06:52.110 --> 00:06:53.550
don't have a clubface you're not worried
00:06:53.550 --> 00:06:54.750
about low point control you get a
00:06:54.750 --> 00:06:55.950
lighter object and you're just trying to
00:06:55.950 --> 00:06:58.110
swing it fast your path is going to
00:06:58.110 --> 00:07:01.320
improve the problem is then again if you
00:07:01.320 --> 00:07:03.510
don't have the skills to be able to
00:07:03.510 --> 00:07:07.140
control the face so that it works with a
00:07:07.140 --> 00:07:09.360
more neutral path and you don't have the
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:11.460
skills to be able to move the low point
00:07:11.460 --> 00:07:13.919
back forward then it can become a
00:07:13.919 --> 00:07:16.530
problem so I've seen a number of golfers
00:07:16.530 --> 00:07:18.990
who struggle with having the clubface
00:07:18.990 --> 00:07:22.860
more open and closing late and those
00:07:22.860 --> 00:07:25.200
golfers when they use things like super
00:07:25.200 --> 00:07:28.050
speed or to a lesser extent orange whip
00:07:28.050 --> 00:07:31.470
it can cause them to either hit shanks
00:07:31.470 --> 00:07:35.430
or really thin shots like and cause them
00:07:35.430 --> 00:07:37.220
to leave it off to the right because
00:07:37.220 --> 00:07:41.000
better sequencing and better timing
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.560
creates more shaft lean creates more leg
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:45.540
and that opens the face so if you
00:07:45.540 --> 00:07:47.220
already struggle with an open faced
00:07:47.220 --> 00:07:49.620
orientation and then you you kind of
00:07:49.620 --> 00:07:51.210
flip it down to the bottom in order to
00:07:51.210 --> 00:07:55.130
close it then those training aids I
00:07:55.130 --> 00:07:57.419
would say you you want to work on the
00:07:57.419 --> 00:07:59.580
clubface control first before you start
00:07:59.580 --> 00:08:00.380
working
00:08:00.380 --> 00:08:03.290
really dialing in and improving that
00:08:03.290 --> 00:08:09.170
path so that kind of brings us into some
00:08:09.170 --> 00:08:14.080
of the next genre and I one question on
00:08:14.080 --> 00:08:17.060
training the flat left wrist right
00:08:17.060 --> 00:08:18.770
there's a number of training aids out
00:08:18.770 --> 00:08:23.360
there whether it's the blue the blue
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:28.240
strike or the what's Martin Chuck's the
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:32.240
educator the coat hanger like there's a
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.400
lot of things that help you keep that
00:08:34.400 --> 00:08:37.910
left wrist flat and those can be really
00:08:37.910 --> 00:08:41.599
useful for 9:00 to 3:00 training there's
00:08:41.599 --> 00:08:43.400
gonna be really useful for working on
00:08:43.400 --> 00:08:46.280
the arm mechanic so basically working on
00:08:46.280 --> 00:08:51.070
a really good arm and hand release now
00:08:51.070 --> 00:08:54.380
the question was basically with those
00:08:54.380 --> 00:08:57.920
devices when we're looking at that left
00:08:57.920 --> 00:09:01.100
wrist staying flat what happens then
00:09:01.100 --> 00:09:02.210
when you go to a full swing because
00:09:02.210 --> 00:09:03.740
obviously in the full swing at some
00:09:03.740 --> 00:09:06.650
point that wrist starts to lose flexion
00:09:06.650 --> 00:09:10.010
and move towards extension so is it
00:09:10.010 --> 00:09:12.650
worthwhile to train the nine to threes
00:09:12.650 --> 00:09:15.500
and keep it more in flexion or are you
00:09:15.500 --> 00:09:18.440
setting yourself for a bad pattern what
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:21.890
I have typically found is that yes doing
00:09:21.890 --> 00:09:25.190
nine threes with those type of training
00:09:25.190 --> 00:09:28.220
aids can be really helpful because what
00:09:28.220 --> 00:09:30.440
should pull the left wrist out of
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:33.650
flexion and into extension is more the
00:09:33.650 --> 00:09:35.750
speed and the movement of the left
00:09:35.750 --> 00:09:40.190
shoulder so essentially this space here
00:09:40.190 --> 00:09:43.370
so down at the bottom of the swing let's
00:09:43.370 --> 00:09:45.620
say I've got a little bit of flexion in
00:09:45.620 --> 00:09:48.140
my wrist like this well the club is
00:09:48.140 --> 00:09:50.390
going to be pulling that way and as my
00:09:50.390 --> 00:09:52.790
body is rotating aside bending that left
00:09:52.790 --> 00:09:55.010
shoulder is going to be pulling back up
00:09:55.010 --> 00:09:56.960
away from the golf ball that way so I've
00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:58.970
got one thing pulling that way one thing
00:09:58.970 --> 00:09:59.390
pulling
00:09:59.390 --> 00:10:01.970
whay everything in the in between those
00:10:01.970 --> 00:10:03.890
points is going to want to move towards
00:10:03.890 --> 00:10:06.080
neutral and basically reach a straight
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:09.320
line between them so what takes it out
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:12.740
of flexion is more good bracing and good
00:10:12.740 --> 00:10:14.810
body speed so if you're doing little
00:10:14.810 --> 00:10:18.710
nine to three shots it can be really
00:10:18.710 --> 00:10:21.740
helpful to train keeping that left wrist
00:10:21.740 --> 00:10:24.950
flat all the way through a nine to three
00:10:24.950 --> 00:10:27.170
or a short you know waist height swing
00:10:27.170 --> 00:10:31.520
the what I typically find is golfers who
00:10:31.520 --> 00:10:33.260
struggle with having that left wrist
00:10:33.260 --> 00:10:35.180
flat and having more of a scoop are
00:10:35.180 --> 00:10:37.790
trying to absorb the force this way
00:10:37.790 --> 00:10:40.190
instead of absorbing the force with a
00:10:40.190 --> 00:10:44.360
little bit more natural supination so
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:46.220
basically allowing the club to rotate
00:10:46.220 --> 00:10:49.160
but when the club is passing they all
00:10:49.160 --> 00:10:51.470
fall in passing your body you're going
00:10:51.470 --> 00:10:53.510
to have to absorb the force one way or
00:10:53.510 --> 00:10:56.300
the other so if you're struggling with
00:10:56.300 --> 00:10:57.800
having more of a scoop where the handle
00:10:57.800 --> 00:11:02.480
is getting back then doing swings that
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:04.310
force the wrist to stay flexed and
00:11:04.310 --> 00:11:07.190
learning to absorb it more with that
00:11:07.190 --> 00:11:10.370
rotation helps build the skill that will
00:11:10.370 --> 00:11:13.100
make it easier to get the shaft lean you
00:11:13.100 --> 00:11:15.790
want when you start taking full swings
00:11:15.790 --> 00:11:19.700
so I am a fan of things that help
00:11:19.700 --> 00:11:21.770
promote the flat left wrist and things
00:11:21.770 --> 00:11:25.160
that promote shaft lean I just don't
00:11:25.160 --> 00:11:28.580
like to do really big full swings with
00:11:28.580 --> 00:11:31.880
them because in order to do it correctly
00:11:31.880 --> 00:11:34.130
or in order to use the training aid the
00:11:34.130 --> 00:11:36.890
way it looks like it's design you'd have
00:11:36.890 --> 00:11:41.660
to effectively use your body in a poor
00:11:41.660 --> 00:11:43.310
way you wouldn't be able to pivot quite
00:11:43.310 --> 00:11:47.300
as well okay so then I've got a few
00:11:47.300 --> 00:11:49.070
other trainings that we'll go through
00:11:49.070 --> 00:11:51.710
before I get in a few the questions
00:11:51.710 --> 00:11:54.710
related to them so we've got the the
00:11:54.710 --> 00:11:58.100
impact snap which I actually I I think
00:11:58.100 --> 00:12:03.110
is a pretty smart training device I have
00:12:03.110 --> 00:12:05.740
a drill on the site where I work on
00:12:05.740 --> 00:12:09.070
ulnar deviation and ulnar deviation is
00:12:09.070 --> 00:12:11.620
of the key movements of the left wrist
00:12:11.620 --> 00:12:14.410
going like this that essentially creates
00:12:14.410 --> 00:12:16.570
within the follow-through so when it
00:12:16.570 --> 00:12:18.820
starts reimaging it will tend to have a
00:12:18.820 --> 00:12:22.899
look more like this and if you work on
00:12:22.899 --> 00:12:25.089
that left wrist getting into only
00:12:25.089 --> 00:12:26.949
deviation it will tend to have a look
00:12:26.949 --> 00:12:27.790
coming through
00:12:27.790 --> 00:12:31.360
more like that so you can as a cheap
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:32.769
version one of the drills I have on the
00:12:32.769 --> 00:12:35.800
site is working on getting that let the
00:12:35.800 --> 00:12:39.670
grip more in line with the forearm later
00:12:39.670 --> 00:12:44.589
and later but Calvin miyahara has a
00:12:44.589 --> 00:12:46.269
training device called the impact snap
00:12:46.269 --> 00:12:49.300
where basically it forces you to get
00:12:49.300 --> 00:12:53.079
into that impact position now the only
00:12:53.079 --> 00:12:55.120
thing that I don't like about it is
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:57.730
there's a there's a ball bearing in it
00:12:57.730 --> 00:13:00.899
used for timing and in order to get that
00:13:00.899 --> 00:13:04.240
timing or get the ball bearing to snap
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:05.769
on the other side of the golf ball
00:13:05.769 --> 00:13:08.380
you really have to hold off the only
00:13:08.380 --> 00:13:11.949
deviation for an exaggerated period of
00:13:11.949 --> 00:13:14.769
time at least compared to what I see on
00:13:14.769 --> 00:13:19.089
3d and what I see in in practice I'm a
00:13:19.089 --> 00:13:22.060
bigger fan of trying to get that ulnar
00:13:22.060 --> 00:13:25.839
deviation to happen earlier because if
00:13:25.839 --> 00:13:27.610
you get that ulnar deviation happening
00:13:27.610 --> 00:13:30.490
earlier and more gradual it tends to
00:13:30.490 --> 00:13:33.510
promote body rotation on the way through
00:13:33.510 --> 00:13:35.800
and body rotation on the way through
00:13:35.800 --> 00:13:40.300
tends to help promote the increase arc
00:13:40.300 --> 00:13:41.980
with or the wide point getting on the
00:13:41.980 --> 00:13:43.779
other side of the golf ball which helps
00:13:43.779 --> 00:13:45.339
with your flat spot and overall
00:13:45.339 --> 00:13:48.970
consistency so I am a big fan of the
00:13:48.970 --> 00:13:53.050
impact snap I think just doing the the
00:13:53.050 --> 00:13:54.579
perfect place to do that type of
00:13:54.579 --> 00:13:56.920
training is whenever you're just hanging
00:13:56.920 --> 00:13:59.230
out watching TV all of a lot of my
00:13:59.230 --> 00:14:01.600
students you know grab either a sharpie
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:04.959
or a TV remote and work on wrist
00:14:04.959 --> 00:14:06.880
mechanics just just kind of putting in
00:14:06.880 --> 00:14:09.100
reps so the brain and the body is more
00:14:09.100 --> 00:14:10.810
and more comfortable with those
00:14:10.810 --> 00:14:14.139
movements similar to you know the karate
00:14:14.139 --> 00:14:16.180
kid' doing all the wax on stuff just to
00:14:16.180 --> 00:14:18.149
train the muscle patterns so that then
00:14:18.149 --> 00:14:20.279
when you get
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:23.910
the range it's easier to recall that
00:14:23.910 --> 00:14:26.249
pattern and build it into a more usable
00:14:26.249 --> 00:14:30.120
skill so impact Snap is definitely one
00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:32.040
of those good training devices that you
00:14:32.040 --> 00:14:35.610
can use to to train the wrist release
00:14:35.610 --> 00:14:37.439
just be careful with the timing because
00:14:37.439 --> 00:14:42.180
the timing can be counterproductive the
00:14:42.180 --> 00:14:43.829
swing guide I had a question about that
00:14:43.829 --> 00:14:47.040
it's one of the most one it was one of
00:14:47.040 --> 00:14:49.079
the most popular training devices out
00:14:49.079 --> 00:14:51.959
there for a long period of time it can
00:14:51.959 --> 00:14:54.180
be useful if you don't use it the way
00:14:54.180 --> 00:14:56.790
that they recommend you use it on the on
00:14:56.790 --> 00:14:59.579
the box so on the box they basically
00:14:59.579 --> 00:15:01.980
want you to hinge your wrist so that it
00:15:01.980 --> 00:15:03.809
sits up against your forearm just like
00:15:03.809 --> 00:15:06.329
so the problem is when you hinge your
00:15:06.329 --> 00:15:08.370
wrist like that you'll tend to create
00:15:08.370 --> 00:15:10.230
some extension which is going to tend to
00:15:10.230 --> 00:15:12.389
open the clubface and if you keep that
00:15:12.389 --> 00:15:14.519
clubface open long into the downswing
00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:17.939
then that would create an excessively
00:15:17.939 --> 00:15:19.740
steep path from the arms so you'll
00:15:19.740 --> 00:15:22.410
shallow at your body the most common
00:15:22.410 --> 00:15:24.420
ways to shallow out the body would be to
00:15:24.420 --> 00:15:26.639
delay the rotation and go into a bit of
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:28.740
it though the extension so it it really
00:15:28.740 --> 00:15:31.430
can promote more of this kind of
00:15:31.430 --> 00:15:35.250
extension stall pattern and then rapid
00:15:35.250 --> 00:15:37.920
flip down to the bottom but what you can
00:15:37.920 --> 00:15:42.000
do is if you set it up the way that
00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:43.709
you're supposed to but then you make
00:15:43.709 --> 00:15:45.360
sure instead of it hitting your forearm
00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:47.730
that it stays on the outside of your
00:15:47.730 --> 00:15:49.829
forearm so basically you're gonna make
00:15:49.829 --> 00:15:52.920
sure that it is outside of the body here
00:15:52.920 --> 00:15:54.660
all right so it's basically connected
00:15:54.660 --> 00:15:57.420
from here to there and that will help
00:15:57.420 --> 00:16:02.819
encourage the flexion especially on the
00:16:02.819 --> 00:16:04.860
way through so when you go into that
00:16:04.860 --> 00:16:07.740
release or the follow-through side
00:16:07.740 --> 00:16:10.589
making sure that the swing guide is on
00:16:10.589 --> 00:16:12.360
the outside of the forearm
00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:15.529
instead of hitting it right on top the
00:16:15.529 --> 00:16:19.660
radial deviation or hinging the wrist is
00:16:19.660 --> 00:16:22.240
one of the one of the movements that
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:24.190
many amateur golfers tend to struggle
00:16:24.190 --> 00:16:27.430
with when you hinge your wrist
00:16:27.430 --> 00:16:30.490
especially on the way through that tends
00:16:30.490 --> 00:16:32.380
to close the club face it's effectively
00:16:32.380 --> 00:16:35.260
like having the ball up above your feet
00:16:35.260 --> 00:16:37.210
and you can see that that club would be
00:16:37.210 --> 00:16:39.880
pointing ways to the left so many
00:16:39.880 --> 00:16:42.880
golfers amateur golfers anyway use that
00:16:42.880 --> 00:16:45.070
kind of riehen geing down at the bottom
00:16:45.070 --> 00:16:47.380
to help close the club face and when
00:16:47.380 --> 00:16:49.000
they first start working on a better
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:51.280
release they hit it out to the right
00:16:51.280 --> 00:16:54.970
because they instead of getting the
00:16:54.970 --> 00:16:56.530
shaft rotation they close the club face
00:16:56.530 --> 00:17:00.220
they're doing it with that range so the
00:17:00.220 --> 00:17:02.890
training devices that emphasize holding
00:17:02.890 --> 00:17:06.189
that hinge longer can indirectly cause
00:17:06.189 --> 00:17:08.439
you to have more of a scoop or more of a
00:17:08.439 --> 00:17:11.110
roll pattern down at the bottom so
00:17:11.110 --> 00:17:12.819
that's something that you have to be
00:17:12.819 --> 00:17:15.730
careful of if you struggle with clubface
00:17:15.730 --> 00:17:18.189
control and you use more of that roll as
00:17:18.189 --> 00:17:20.050
one of your primary ways for squaring
00:17:20.050 --> 00:17:23.709
the face there's some other devices that
00:17:23.709 --> 00:17:27.370
work on kind of connections so you've
00:17:27.370 --> 00:17:30.490
got like the swing shirt where you it
00:17:30.490 --> 00:17:32.890
basically forces your arms to stay close
00:17:32.890 --> 00:17:35.100
together you've got things like the
00:17:35.100 --> 00:17:39.670
impact ball you've got you know I used
00:17:39.670 --> 00:17:42.370
just a car wash sponge but things that
00:17:42.370 --> 00:17:46.840
keep your arms close together generally
00:17:46.840 --> 00:17:48.820
work on path training and generally work
00:17:48.820 --> 00:17:53.200
on sequencing so many golfers struggle
00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:55.660
with getting a lot of arm pole to create
00:17:55.660 --> 00:17:58.930
their speed or they tend to swing the
00:17:58.930 --> 00:18:00.520
club backward mostly using their
00:18:00.520 --> 00:18:02.890
shoulders instead of using their spine
00:18:02.890 --> 00:18:08.140
so I've said before that virtually every
00:18:08.140 --> 00:18:11.010
swing tip related to the backswing is
00:18:11.010 --> 00:18:13.510
just trying to get you to use your body
00:18:13.510 --> 00:18:16.360
instead of your arms to bring the club
00:18:16.360 --> 00:18:19.150
back or to keep the clubface from
00:18:19.150 --> 00:18:23.080
opening up too much so all the low and
00:18:23.080 --> 00:18:25.390
slow and one-piece takeaway and things
00:18:25.390 --> 00:18:28.300
like the shirt and the impact ball that
00:18:28.300 --> 00:18:30.480
just forces you to route
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:33.179
your body in the backswing as opposed to
00:18:33.179 --> 00:18:36.120
just moving your arms when you just move
00:18:36.120 --> 00:18:38.130
your arms that then becomes harder to
00:18:38.130 --> 00:18:42.210
have really good sequencing in
00:18:42.210 --> 00:18:44.600
transition so I put those in more of a
00:18:44.600 --> 00:18:48.990
how we create speed category now I've
00:18:48.990 --> 00:18:52.470
got a video on the the impact wall and
00:18:52.470 --> 00:18:55.350
why I prefer like softer sponges and
00:18:55.350 --> 00:18:57.240
things like that
00:18:57.240 --> 00:18:59.250
is because in the follow-through those
00:18:59.250 --> 00:19:00.780
arms should be getting closer together
00:19:00.780 --> 00:19:03.780
so if you have a device that's too firm
00:19:03.780 --> 00:19:07.040
in between your forearms it will tend to
00:19:07.040 --> 00:19:09.480
prevent you from getting that trail arm
00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:11.970
to fully straighten or it will tend to
00:19:11.970 --> 00:19:14.880
cause your upper body to lunge too far
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:17.340
forward in order to get the club to
00:19:17.340 --> 00:19:20.160
swing on a good path without letting
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:22.610
those arms get closer together so
00:19:22.610 --> 00:19:26.970
there's a lot of training aids that seem
00:19:26.970 --> 00:19:29.280
like a good idea on paper and ultimately
00:19:29.280 --> 00:19:32.190
help you with one specific aspect but if
00:19:32.190 --> 00:19:33.630
you take it all the way through the
00:19:33.630 --> 00:19:36.450
whole swing it messes up another area
00:19:36.450 --> 00:19:37.830
and that's one of the cases where the
00:19:37.830 --> 00:19:39.000
impact ball helps you with your
00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:41.360
backswing and helps you with your
00:19:41.360 --> 00:19:45.270
transition but it can be a problem for
00:19:45.270 --> 00:19:48.929
the release which many golfers struggle
00:19:48.929 --> 00:19:51.360
with so I'm not a huge fan of that one I
00:19:51.360 --> 00:19:53.130
would prefer using something softer like
00:19:53.130 --> 00:19:57.419
a sponge I'll see a couple questions
00:19:57.419 --> 00:20:00.750
coming in Martin Chuck's five and seven
00:20:00.750 --> 00:20:03.900
irons of pee with the no leading wedge
00:20:03.900 --> 00:20:05.970
do you mean the Tour striker um the
00:20:05.970 --> 00:20:09.419
problem with the Tour striker is so if
00:20:09.419 --> 00:20:10.650
you haven't seen it the Tour striker
00:20:10.650 --> 00:20:12.990
instead of the golfer or the golf club
00:20:12.990 --> 00:20:15.480
being like this the leading edge is
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:17.370
basically up here and then it has a
00:20:17.370 --> 00:20:20.070
curved bottom so in theory its design is
00:20:20.070 --> 00:20:21.870
to get you to excessively lean the
00:20:21.870 --> 00:20:25.590
chef's now the problem is it has so much
00:20:25.590 --> 00:20:26.160
bounce
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:30.540
they used the sole is fairly round that
00:20:30.540 --> 00:20:33.360
you can actually scoop it well enough to
00:20:33.360 --> 00:20:35.460
get the ball in the air even if you
00:20:35.460 --> 00:20:39.299
don't use it properly so I haven't seen
00:20:39.299 --> 00:20:41.240
a huge carryover from
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:45.560
those devices I like Martin's other
00:20:45.560 --> 00:20:48.960
training aid the educator a whole lot
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:49.410
better
00:20:49.410 --> 00:20:53.070
so I'm I'd give kind of a caution I
00:20:53.070 --> 00:20:54.620
think there's better stuff to then
00:20:54.620 --> 00:20:59.340
Martin Chuck's tour striker in fact that
00:20:59.340 --> 00:21:00.570
brings one of the questions was about
00:21:00.570 --> 00:21:04.890
the DST compressor so the the DST
00:21:04.890 --> 00:21:08.150
compressor if you haven't seen it is a
00:21:08.150 --> 00:21:11.220
curved shaft so instead of the club
00:21:11.220 --> 00:21:13.170
going straight it kind of curves like
00:21:13.170 --> 00:21:17.520
this so essentially it forces it forces
00:21:17.520 --> 00:21:19.380
you to get your hands ahead which is one
00:21:19.380 --> 00:21:22.080
of the things that most amateur golfers
00:21:22.080 --> 00:21:24.060
struggle with so it just gives you the
00:21:24.060 --> 00:21:26.330
experience of when your hands are ahead
00:21:26.330 --> 00:21:28.970
how would you have the clubface square
00:21:28.970 --> 00:21:36.780
and it it definitely it definitely helps
00:21:36.780 --> 00:21:38.820
with shallowing the club if you have
00:21:38.820 --> 00:21:40.800
more of an early arm action if you have
00:21:40.800 --> 00:21:43.110
more of kind of a cast pattern you'll
00:21:43.110 --> 00:21:46.020
hit the ball just terribly the thing
00:21:46.020 --> 00:21:47.580
that it doesn't really help with is it
00:21:47.580 --> 00:21:50.490
doesn't really help prevent a flip so if
00:21:50.490 --> 00:21:53.580
your main struggle is more of clubface
00:21:53.580 --> 00:21:58.500
control with a flip then mmm I think
00:21:58.500 --> 00:22:00.390
they're better training aids but if your
00:22:00.390 --> 00:22:03.090
main goal is getting used to the hands
00:22:03.090 --> 00:22:06.030
forward or shallowing in the transition
00:22:06.030 --> 00:22:08.130
I think it's a I think it's a pretty
00:22:08.130 --> 00:22:09.540
good one I've got a fair number of
00:22:09.540 --> 00:22:12.990
students who like it I would use it
00:22:12.990 --> 00:22:15.810
sparingly so I'd use it as just kind of
00:22:15.810 --> 00:22:18.120
like the first five or ten minutes of a
00:22:18.120 --> 00:22:21.330
warm-up session or of your warm-up
00:22:21.330 --> 00:22:22.680
before getting into some mechanic
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:27.800
mechanical practice but I wouldn't I
00:22:27.800 --> 00:22:30.690
wouldn't overdo it with that the because
00:22:30.690 --> 00:22:32.700
it doesn't I think it can actually
00:22:32.700 --> 00:22:35.130
encourage a little bit of a flip but I
00:22:35.130 --> 00:22:37.290
don't have enough data points on that
00:22:37.290 --> 00:22:42.470
one to to say 100% I see a couple uh a
00:22:42.470 --> 00:22:47.430
couple questions coming in Sharon's
00:22:47.430 --> 00:22:49.500
asking about the sure set I'm actually
00:22:49.500 --> 00:22:53.420
not quite sure about the sure set
00:22:53.420 --> 00:22:59.640
what if you can post the link of the
00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:01.320
short set and I'll I'll click on it real
00:23:01.320 --> 00:23:02.640
quick and check it out
00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:05.490
George is asking about boards and
00:23:05.490 --> 00:23:07.650
plastic to place behind the ball to
00:23:07.650 --> 00:23:09.570
promote divot in front of all yeah when
00:23:09.570 --> 00:23:12.120
you're practicing indoors or when you're
00:23:12.120 --> 00:23:14.370
practicing in the winter low point
00:23:14.370 --> 00:23:17.370
control often is more challenging to pay
00:23:17.370 --> 00:23:18.510
attention to when you're training on a
00:23:18.510 --> 00:23:21.720
mat right so there are things like the
00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:25.080
fat plate there are you know you can
00:23:25.080 --> 00:23:28.500
take a credit old credit card or room
00:23:28.500 --> 00:23:30.060
key and place it behind the golf ball
00:23:30.060 --> 00:23:32.280
you can place a towel those things can
00:23:32.280 --> 00:23:34.350
help you be more aware of low point
00:23:34.350 --> 00:23:38.550
control when because the mat there you
00:23:38.550 --> 00:23:41.190
can YouTube high-speed video of hitting
00:23:41.190 --> 00:23:43.950
it fat on a mat and you'll see that if
00:23:43.950 --> 00:23:45.570
you hit behind the ball the ball will
00:23:45.570 --> 00:23:47.400
pop up and you'll hit it right in the
00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:49.320
middle of the club you'll feel like
00:23:49.320 --> 00:23:50.940
you've hit a good shot but if you had
00:23:50.940 --> 00:23:52.320
done that off grass it would have been a
00:23:52.320 --> 00:23:56.610
poor shot so I do like having some type
00:23:56.610 --> 00:23:58.440
of feedback if you're working on low
00:23:58.440 --> 00:24:01.830
point control so you'll see I'm always
00:24:01.830 --> 00:24:03.300
going to come back to what skill are you
00:24:03.300 --> 00:24:07.800
trying to Train and low point control is
00:24:07.800 --> 00:24:09.420
one of the most important factors when
00:24:09.420 --> 00:24:11.130
it comes to making solid contact with
00:24:11.130 --> 00:24:14.790
the irons and solid contact good iron
00:24:14.790 --> 00:24:16.860
play is one of the fastest ways to lower
00:24:16.860 --> 00:24:20.850
your scores so I would say that having
00:24:20.850 --> 00:24:23.180
something when you're practicing to just
00:24:23.180 --> 00:24:25.290
make sure that you don't get too sloppy
00:24:25.290 --> 00:24:27.120
with your low point control is a really
00:24:27.120 --> 00:24:31.860
good idea Chris is asking if you have to
00:24:31.860 --> 00:24:33.450
consolidate the training ideas can you
00:24:33.450 --> 00:24:35.490
pick three or four training aids which
00:24:35.490 --> 00:24:38.760
would be great for members of the gym to
00:24:38.760 --> 00:24:42.020
the work and practice members who come
00:24:42.020 --> 00:24:45.060
just and swing the orange whip in golf
00:24:45.060 --> 00:24:47.300
club it would be great to hear your
00:24:47.300 --> 00:24:51.420
recommendations for a gym with with 1200
00:24:51.420 --> 00:24:53.340
members top three the ones you talked
00:24:53.340 --> 00:24:56.970
about here so I do like I would get a
00:24:56.970 --> 00:24:59.760
few of the the impact snap you know it's
00:24:59.760 --> 00:25:03.389
not really a I wouldn't say that it's a
00:25:03.389 --> 00:25:05.519
you know a big workout but you could if
00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:06.959
you're doing golf fitness you could
00:25:06.959 --> 00:25:09.719
throw it into part of your cooldown it
00:25:09.719 --> 00:25:11.669
would just really help or in between
00:25:11.669 --> 00:25:13.859
sets or things like that almost like an
00:25:13.859 --> 00:25:19.139
active recovery period I do like the the
00:25:19.139 --> 00:25:22.109
orange whip or the SuperSpeed they're
00:25:22.109 --> 00:25:23.789
slightly different I think the orange
00:25:23.789 --> 00:25:26.820
whip is a little bit more Universal
00:25:26.820 --> 00:25:30.929
super speed you have to be a little
00:25:30.929 --> 00:25:33.599
careful just because you will reinforce
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:36.690
whatever your powder power program is so
00:25:36.690 --> 00:25:38.849
if you are more of an armed pool you
00:25:38.849 --> 00:25:41.429
will typically strengthen your arm pull
00:25:41.429 --> 00:25:43.440
pattern if you are more of like an early
00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:46.289
extender jumper you will reinforce your
00:25:46.289 --> 00:25:48.269
early ascender jumper pattern so you
00:25:48.269 --> 00:25:50.009
want to be careful with that where the
00:25:50.009 --> 00:25:53.009
orange whip I tend to find improves and
00:25:53.009 --> 00:25:55.649
balances kind of whether you're swinging
00:25:55.649 --> 00:25:57.149
more from your legs or more from your
00:25:57.149 --> 00:25:59.999
core and more from your upper body I do
00:25:59.999 --> 00:26:05.940
like the the DST compressor and I use an
00:26:05.940 --> 00:26:08.369
impact bag a lot but I don't use it
00:26:08.369 --> 00:26:10.649
though again the way that it's described
00:26:10.649 --> 00:26:12.479
on the package like I don't use it to
00:26:12.479 --> 00:26:15.809
just swing and hit it as if you were
00:26:15.809 --> 00:26:18.299
hitting a golf ball I'll put it at
00:26:18.299 --> 00:26:21.299
specific times to almost stop you mid
00:26:21.299 --> 00:26:23.669
movement so that you can see where you
00:26:23.669 --> 00:26:26.039
are and what you're doing so if I had to
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:28.619
pick three those would probably be three
00:26:28.619 --> 00:26:33.959
that I've been working on Golden Gate is
00:26:33.959 --> 00:26:35.849
asking if you have any time do you have
00:26:35.849 --> 00:26:37.859
any PGA Tour data on the amount or
00:26:37.859 --> 00:26:40.529
degrees of hing down on a 5-iron
00:26:40.529 --> 00:26:43.349
some say sweep but some hit down
00:26:43.349 --> 00:26:49.619
slightly Oh before I jump to that I see
00:26:49.619 --> 00:26:52.409
Jim saying asking about the orange whip
00:26:52.409 --> 00:26:55.169
wedge Stanley likes it handily endorsed
00:26:55.169 --> 00:26:57.989
it and created it I do have one and I
00:26:57.989 --> 00:27:01.369
think it's really smart now here's the I
00:27:01.369 --> 00:27:03.989
know two different golf instructors who
00:27:03.989 --> 00:27:06.329
were both very highly respected for
00:27:06.329 --> 00:27:08.279
their short game teaching and they use
00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:11.819
it totally differently they both use the
00:27:11.819 --> 00:27:14.279
product one tries to
00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:16.200
load it and unloaded as fast as they can
00:27:16.200 --> 00:27:17.940
and the other one tries to swing it with
00:27:17.940 --> 00:27:20.429
very little loading but I think that it
00:27:20.429 --> 00:27:23.609
helps with feeling the clubhead and with
00:27:23.609 --> 00:27:25.739
a little bit more of a cast style
00:27:25.739 --> 00:27:28.559
sequence so whether you do it
00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:30.899
aggressively or or a little bit more
00:27:30.899 --> 00:27:33.479
passively I still think it it's very
00:27:33.479 --> 00:27:36.659
helpful for communicating waiting at the
00:27:36.659 --> 00:27:38.909
top of the swing instead of a really big
00:27:38.909 --> 00:27:41.070
pole and many golfers who struggle with
00:27:41.070 --> 00:27:43.710
like the chip hips or hitting him really
00:27:43.710 --> 00:27:47.159
fat you know really bad miss patterns
00:27:47.159 --> 00:27:49.200
pull too hard on the on the grip in
00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:50.999
order to try to move it forward and they
00:27:50.999 --> 00:27:53.309
do really well with the orange which
00:27:53.309 --> 00:27:58.649
orange whip wedge sorry so PGA Tour data
00:27:58.649 --> 00:28:00.359
on the amount of degrees of came down on
00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:04.729
a 5-iron its problem I I don't have
00:28:04.729 --> 00:28:07.369
extensive data on that I could probably
00:28:07.369 --> 00:28:09.960
talk to some of my buddies and find it
00:28:09.960 --> 00:28:12.059
all the time my head I'm gonna say
00:28:12.059 --> 00:28:14.190
somewhere around three maybe four
00:28:14.190 --> 00:28:17.119
degrees down is probably pretty close
00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:20.639
the the sweep first hit down is a little
00:28:20.639 --> 00:28:23.190
tricky because what when some people
00:28:23.190 --> 00:28:25.409
feel sweeping they'll get that four
00:28:25.409 --> 00:28:27.929
degrees forward and oftentimes when
00:28:27.929 --> 00:28:30.719
golfers try to hit down they do it with
00:28:30.719 --> 00:28:33.719
more of a forward lunge and then end up
00:28:33.719 --> 00:28:36.690
scooping and they don't hit down as much
00:28:36.690 --> 00:28:39.509
as the the phrase I like is trying to
00:28:39.509 --> 00:28:41.669
hit forward of the golf ball so working
00:28:41.669 --> 00:28:43.799
on where the club brushes the ground if
00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:46.289
you have it brushing slightly ahead of
00:28:46.289 --> 00:28:48.809
the golf ball so let's say from the
00:28:48.809 --> 00:28:50.789
middle of the golf ball onward then
00:28:50.789 --> 00:28:53.129
you're going to hit down at least a
00:28:53.129 --> 00:28:55.070
couple degrees which is gonna be
00:28:55.070 --> 00:28:57.269
depending on your club head speed all
00:28:57.269 --> 00:28:59.489
you really need
00:28:59.489 --> 00:29:03.479
Kevin's asking slightly off topic how do
00:29:03.479 --> 00:29:05.639
you get heavyset guys big-chested
00:29:05.639 --> 00:29:08.309
perhaps to get their right arm into
00:29:08.309 --> 00:29:10.499
external rotation P four to six or
00:29:10.499 --> 00:29:12.359
better said lay the shaft down
00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:17.309
shallowing honestly I usually do it more
00:29:17.309 --> 00:29:22.440
with the lead arm it is it's challenging
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:26.009
to have that much mass in the way of
00:29:26.009 --> 00:29:26.800
where
00:29:26.800 --> 00:29:30.700
your right shoulder needs to go so what
00:29:30.700 --> 00:29:32.710
I would what I've seen you know from
00:29:32.710 --> 00:29:35.830
some of the the bigger guys on tour
00:29:35.830 --> 00:29:37.950
you'll tend to see almost like a
00:29:37.950 --> 00:29:41.080
relaxation of the grip in transition
00:29:41.080 --> 00:29:43.000
you'll see a little bit of kind of
00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:46.300
spacing happen so that that right arm
00:29:46.300 --> 00:29:48.880
can essentially get out of the way but
00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:50.080
the shaft is still getting into a
00:29:50.080 --> 00:29:52.870
shallower position so I do a lot I do a
00:29:52.870 --> 00:29:55.300
lot of lead arm training with some of my
00:29:55.300 --> 00:30:00.820
bigger guys Oh William Brahm I hope you
00:30:00.820 --> 00:30:02.550
at least mentioned my use of the Pels
00:30:02.550 --> 00:30:05.170
learning aids I'm not on his payroll
00:30:05.170 --> 00:30:08.320
they almost bypass the need for focus
00:30:08.320 --> 00:30:10.960
because the focus is so immediate in
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:15.490
drastic idea so it's different skills
00:30:15.490 --> 00:30:18.550
when we're getting into putting than the
00:30:18.550 --> 00:30:20.320
full swing for putting the three main
00:30:20.320 --> 00:30:23.820
skills are starting a ball on line
00:30:23.820 --> 00:30:27.250
controlling distance and with tempo and
00:30:27.250 --> 00:30:30.220
length of Swing and reading a green so
00:30:30.220 --> 00:30:33.520
for reading a green I will use things
00:30:33.520 --> 00:30:36.700
like the perfect putter with the perfect
00:30:36.700 --> 00:30:38.230
putter you have to recognize that it
00:30:38.230 --> 00:30:40.540
gets the ball rolling a little faster
00:30:40.540 --> 00:30:43.570
than you would off the putter so while
00:30:43.570 --> 00:30:47.050
it rolls a perfect putt it does not show
00:30:47.050 --> 00:30:49.210
the accurate break of what the putt
00:30:49.210 --> 00:30:51.460
would be if you hit it with a putter it
00:30:51.460 --> 00:30:53.710
will show the accurate break of maybe if
00:30:53.710 --> 00:30:56.770
you had the device a foot behind where
00:30:56.770 --> 00:30:59.200
you're actually putting from but that
00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:02.860
can help with green reading I like to
00:31:02.860 --> 00:31:06.730
use digital levels and the the aim point
00:31:06.730 --> 00:31:11.170
lie board to help golfers learn how to
00:31:11.170 --> 00:31:14.290
feel slope with their feet and then as
00:31:14.290 --> 00:31:18.150
far as start line their their devices
00:31:18.150 --> 00:31:20.860
you know that can help with ball rolling
00:31:20.860 --> 00:31:24.930
end over end you can use gates tees
00:31:24.930 --> 00:31:29.650
whether it's the the Pels forget the
00:31:29.650 --> 00:31:31.150
name of it but the little triangle thing
00:31:31.150 --> 00:31:33.340
with the marbles I think is great all
00:31:33.340 --> 00:31:35.010
those things that force you into
00:31:35.010 --> 00:31:37.680
committing to a start line
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:39.600
work really well one of the simplest
00:31:39.600 --> 00:31:41.400
ones is you take a dime and you place it
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:44.220
a little more than two feet in front of
00:31:44.220 --> 00:31:46.950
the golf ball a dime place that two feet
00:31:46.950 --> 00:31:48.900
in front of the golf ball has the same
00:31:48.900 --> 00:31:51.630
geometry of the hole at about ten feet
00:31:51.630 --> 00:31:55.080
so if you can roll a ball over a dime
00:31:55.080 --> 00:31:57.780
then you can basically make a straight
00:31:57.780 --> 00:32:00.630
ten footer at least your alignment and
00:32:00.630 --> 00:32:02.520
start line says that you can make it and
00:32:02.520 --> 00:32:05.970
then as far as speed control I do like
00:32:05.970 --> 00:32:10.530
to use metronomes and and tees or things
00:32:10.530 --> 00:32:12.960
like the the Vizio mat just to work on
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:17.550
kind of pacing and work on controlling
00:32:17.550 --> 00:32:20.040
the length of the swing so with putting
00:32:20.040 --> 00:32:23.190
I would say there's a couple different
00:32:23.190 --> 00:32:25.050
ways you can approach distance control
00:32:25.050 --> 00:32:26.580
which is one of the more challenging
00:32:26.580 --> 00:32:30.870
skills I you can approach distance
00:32:30.870 --> 00:32:33.840
control by either creating one baseline
00:32:33.840 --> 00:32:36.300
putting stroke and then like let's say
00:32:36.300 --> 00:32:39.600
I'm gonna take the putter back to just
00:32:39.600 --> 00:32:42.270
outside my own let's say six inches
00:32:42.270 --> 00:32:43.530
outside my foot I'm gonna take it back
00:32:43.530 --> 00:32:45.180
to six inches outside my foot and I'm
00:32:45.180 --> 00:32:46.740
gonna try to hit it the same distance
00:32:46.740 --> 00:32:50.070
every single time I can place tees on
00:32:50.070 --> 00:32:52.800
the ground or I can use the metronome to
00:32:52.800 --> 00:32:55.950
help make sure that my putting tempo is
00:32:55.950 --> 00:32:58.140
pretty consistent and then if I take it
00:32:58.140 --> 00:33:00.630
back the same length swing I should be
00:33:00.630 --> 00:33:03.240
able to get it to stop within about a
00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:05.940
foot to let's say two feet depending on
00:33:05.940 --> 00:33:10.590
how far that putt is well then if I have
00:33:10.590 --> 00:33:12.390
this baseline and I know about how far
00:33:12.390 --> 00:33:15.570
that goes I can go a little shorter for
00:33:15.570 --> 00:33:17.280
short putts and a little longer for long
00:33:17.280 --> 00:33:19.290
putts and I can use that as my
00:33:19.290 --> 00:33:21.540
calibration whenever I go to a new
00:33:21.540 --> 00:33:25.890
course so again for putting there's lots
00:33:25.890 --> 00:33:28.230
of devices to work on start line there's
00:33:28.230 --> 00:33:33.120
lots of devices to help with path but
00:33:33.120 --> 00:33:37.620
really path is secondary to face control
00:33:37.620 --> 00:33:40.560
in putting so if you're if you can
00:33:40.560 --> 00:33:42.930
control the face to start it online you
00:33:42.930 --> 00:33:44.730
can control your tempo to roll it the
00:33:44.730 --> 00:33:46.260
distance you want and you can read
00:33:46.260 --> 00:33:50.060
greens you can be a really good putter
00:33:50.299 --> 00:33:54.090
okay I had one other question from Jim
00:33:54.090 --> 00:33:57.659
who I see signed on he was asking about
00:33:57.659 --> 00:34:01.980
and this is a this is a little separate
00:34:01.980 --> 00:34:05.610
from the training aid discussion I
00:34:05.610 --> 00:34:07.980
covered most of the training aids on the
00:34:07.980 --> 00:34:10.829
list but if you have any that I didn't
00:34:10.829 --> 00:34:13.260
cover just type them in the chat box
00:34:13.260 --> 00:34:16.589
right now his question was more on like
00:34:16.589 --> 00:34:18.210
power source training and sequencing
00:34:18.210 --> 00:34:21.379
training so he was asking about left arm
00:34:21.379 --> 00:34:24.750
adduction in transition followed by
00:34:24.750 --> 00:34:27.510
abduction through the ball it creates a
00:34:27.510 --> 00:34:29.879
little bit of a shoulder load loading
00:34:29.879 --> 00:34:33.089
swing a slingshot it's helpful for
00:34:33.089 --> 00:34:37.079
getting the low point forward but it's
00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:38.909
really helpful for getting the arkwide
00:34:38.909 --> 00:34:41.700
in the follow-through if you do the
00:34:41.700 --> 00:34:45.359
opposite or if you disconnect too soon
00:34:45.359 --> 00:34:47.700
then what I'll typically happen is the
00:34:47.700 --> 00:34:49.980
club will pass your chest too early and
00:34:49.980 --> 00:34:52.470
once the club passes your chest you're
00:34:52.470 --> 00:34:54.629
gonna have to bend your arms in order to
00:34:54.629 --> 00:34:58.740
absorb the speed so this question was
00:34:58.740 --> 00:35:00.599
basically what promotes this is it a
00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:02.430
natural movement of the body or is it
00:35:02.430 --> 00:35:05.490
something the arms should do if the arms
00:35:05.490 --> 00:35:09.450
are soft and relaxed then if my body
00:35:09.450 --> 00:35:12.630
turns into my arm that's gonna load my
00:35:12.630 --> 00:35:15.720
shoulder I never want my golfers
00:35:15.720 --> 00:35:18.660
thinking of kind of pulling away from
00:35:18.660 --> 00:35:21.380
the target there was a there was a
00:35:21.380 --> 00:35:23.849
phrase that I loved when I heard a
00:35:23.849 --> 00:35:27.540
javelin throw or a javelin coach talk
00:35:27.540 --> 00:35:29.849
about teaching javelin throw and that
00:35:29.849 --> 00:35:32.460
basically you run away from the drab
00:35:32.460 --> 00:35:34.109
javelin you don't pull it back
00:35:34.109 --> 00:35:35.880
you always want energy moving in the
00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:37.380
direction of the target but in order to
00:35:37.380 --> 00:35:39.859
fire muscles you need to stretch them so
00:35:39.859 --> 00:35:43.560
instead of pulling the javelin back and
00:35:43.560 --> 00:35:46.260
then letting it go you keep that javelin
00:35:46.260 --> 00:35:48.119
in space and you move your shoulder away
00:35:48.119 --> 00:35:50.940
from it faster and then let it go so
00:35:50.940 --> 00:35:52.410
you've got energy always moving in the
00:35:52.410 --> 00:35:54.930
direction of the target so even though
00:35:54.930 --> 00:35:57.089
I'm going to create this load of my
00:35:57.089 --> 00:35:59.119
shoulder it's not because I'm
00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:01.069
my shoulder back it's because I have
00:36:01.069 --> 00:36:03.109
good sequencing in my lower body is
00:36:03.109 --> 00:36:06.049
turning into the shoulder faster than my
00:36:06.049 --> 00:36:08.119
arm is pulling away from it and that
00:36:08.119 --> 00:36:10.670
loads the stretch in a more productive
00:36:10.670 --> 00:36:13.490
way or a more powerful way the
00:36:13.490 --> 00:36:15.920
consequences of not doing it correctly
00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:19.910
is if you don't load into the shoulder
00:36:19.910 --> 00:36:22.970
it means that your sequencing is off it
00:36:22.970 --> 00:36:24.680
means that you're firing more your
00:36:24.680 --> 00:36:27.829
shoulders first and then your core would
00:36:27.829 --> 00:36:30.619
have to basically catch up or stabilize
00:36:30.619 --> 00:36:33.950
it so it could again potentially zap you
00:36:33.950 --> 00:36:37.839
of some power and it could potentially
00:36:37.839 --> 00:36:40.779
that would be the it could potentially
00:36:40.779 --> 00:36:42.950
affect you with the driver because it
00:36:42.950 --> 00:36:44.960
would prevent you from getting the wide
00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:47.869
point later and later it would tend to
00:36:47.869 --> 00:36:49.339
cause your right arm to have to
00:36:49.339 --> 00:36:51.890
straighten a little bit too soon which
00:36:51.890 --> 00:36:54.170
would tend your body to cause your body
00:36:54.170 --> 00:36:57.710
to stall a little bit so now the thing
00:36:57.710 --> 00:37:01.249
that it could challenge you with is if
00:37:01.249 --> 00:37:03.200
you aren't really comfortable getting
00:37:03.200 --> 00:37:05.450
shaft rotation or if you're not really
00:37:05.450 --> 00:37:07.420
comfortable powering it with your body
00:37:07.420 --> 00:37:11.900
then it could cause you to almost have
00:37:11.900 --> 00:37:13.700
the opposite effect of good sequencing
00:37:13.700 --> 00:37:16.400
okay it could cause you to get out of
00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:18.499
position and out of timing and it could
00:37:18.499 --> 00:37:19.999
prevent you from getting the clubface
00:37:19.999 --> 00:37:22.519
too square especially if you get more of
00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:24.440
your squaring from straightening that
00:37:24.440 --> 00:37:28.009
trail arm instead of just rotating the
00:37:28.009 --> 00:37:30.769
club shaft with the forearms as your
00:37:30.769 --> 00:37:36.440
body is powering it what about let's see
00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:38.589
you've got a couple other questions
00:37:38.589 --> 00:37:42.230
Golden Gate coming in do you believe in
00:37:42.230 --> 00:37:45.230
chunking to get swing in memory we're
00:37:45.230 --> 00:37:48.650
taking at least 200 the 300 swings for a
00:37:48.650 --> 00:37:51.230
new technique your thought is the winter
00:37:51.230 --> 00:37:54.140
a good time for repetition practice yes
00:37:54.140 --> 00:37:57.380
I I'm absolutely a big fan of chunking
00:37:57.380 --> 00:38:01.160
I'll I'll tell my students that the
00:38:01.160 --> 00:38:03.589
research I've seen shows that you would
00:38:03.589 --> 00:38:06.289
your goal is frequency not necessarily
00:38:06.289 --> 00:38:07.350
duration so
00:38:07.350 --> 00:38:10.320
if you're doing ten minutes five times a
00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:12.060
day that's probably better than doing
00:38:12.060 --> 00:38:15.840
two hours once a day so if you're if
00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:18.510
you're able to you know even do
00:38:18.510 --> 00:38:20.790
slow-motion practice or a little bit at
00:38:20.790 --> 00:38:21.560
home
00:38:21.560 --> 00:38:24.150
I'll give them toothbrush drills so
00:38:24.150 --> 00:38:26.430
things that you can work on in the
00:38:26.430 --> 00:38:29.430
morning or in the evening standing in
00:38:29.430 --> 00:38:31.350
the elevator you know we've all seen
00:38:31.350 --> 00:38:33.000
that PGA Tour commercial where people
00:38:33.000 --> 00:38:34.350
are practicing their swing at all
00:38:34.350 --> 00:38:36.570
different points that can be really
00:38:36.570 --> 00:38:40.170
useful if you have a hitting station
00:38:40.170 --> 00:38:42.480
either in your basement or garage doing
00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:46.860
shorter sets is a is something that'll
00:38:46.860 --> 00:38:54.750
usually speed up the learning so but as
00:38:54.750 --> 00:38:57.180
far as taking at least 200 to 300 swings
00:38:57.180 --> 00:39:01.100
it it depends on how good your
00:39:01.100 --> 00:39:05.850
vocabulary is so basically the better
00:39:05.850 --> 00:39:08.790
your body awareness the better your
00:39:08.790 --> 00:39:12.630
understanding of the different phases of
00:39:12.630 --> 00:39:15.060
your swing so if you understand your
00:39:15.060 --> 00:39:17.430
release you understand your transition
00:39:17.430 --> 00:39:20.070
you'll be able to make swings a whole
00:39:20.070 --> 00:39:22.980
lot or swing changes a lot faster than
00:39:22.980 --> 00:39:26.850
someone who does not so if you're early
00:39:26.850 --> 00:39:28.740
in the learning stages it may even be
00:39:28.740 --> 00:39:30.900
more than that maybe more like 500 to a
00:39:30.900 --> 00:39:35.280
thousand so you know essentially like 10
00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:39.570
buckets of balls or so but if you if you
00:39:39.570 --> 00:39:42.360
have a solid understanding of your stock
00:39:42.360 --> 00:39:44.730
swing I think you can be less than that
00:39:44.730 --> 00:39:46.860
I think it could be closer to the you
00:39:46.860 --> 00:39:51.060
know 2 to 3 buckets but usually it's not
00:39:51.060 --> 00:39:52.710
gonna happen overnight you are gonna
00:39:52.710 --> 00:39:54.840
have to put in some practice before
00:39:54.840 --> 00:39:57.990
it'll even show up in flashes on the
00:39:57.990 --> 00:40:00.120
course
00:40:00.120 --> 00:40:02.640
chrisp admins asking what about trades
00:40:02.640 --> 00:40:05.610
for neural training or is that another
00:40:05.610 --> 00:40:09.650
episode you know that's that's probably
00:40:09.650 --> 00:40:12.870
another episode there's the one of the
00:40:12.870 --> 00:40:16.500
things that I will pass on there's
00:40:16.500 --> 00:40:18.870
there's a couple different
00:40:18.870 --> 00:40:20.790
devices out there like there's the halo
00:40:20.790 --> 00:40:25.050
there's Debbie cruises that uses the
00:40:25.050 --> 00:40:25.680
muse
00:40:25.680 --> 00:40:28.920
there's the focus band one of the things
00:40:28.920 --> 00:40:30.960
that I've learned from looking in that
00:40:30.960 --> 00:40:34.470
space is that there's two different
00:40:34.470 --> 00:40:36.030
schools one teaches focus and the other
00:40:36.030 --> 00:40:40.050
teaches relaxation relaxation is best
00:40:40.050 --> 00:40:43.230
done in between shots and focus is best
00:40:43.230 --> 00:40:45.810
done in the play box or over the ball so
00:40:45.810 --> 00:40:48.660
they teach slightly different skills you
00:40:48.660 --> 00:40:51.270
just have to know which it is that you
00:40:51.270 --> 00:40:54.060
need to be able to apply but trying to
00:40:54.060 --> 00:40:56.760
get in a really mellow relaxed state
00:40:56.760 --> 00:40:59.700
over the ball is not the same thing as
00:40:59.700 --> 00:41:02.760
being focused so I'm a little cautious
00:41:02.760 --> 00:41:06.390
on using things like the focus band over
00:41:06.390 --> 00:41:08.220
the ball I think the focus man trains a
00:41:08.220 --> 00:41:11.760
great skill but it's not the skill you
00:41:11.760 --> 00:41:15.030
would want in the state of when you're
00:41:15.030 --> 00:41:19.410
actually executing the shot the swing
00:41:19.410 --> 00:41:20.910
my guess is actually about a swing
00:41:20.910 --> 00:41:23.280
extender yes he you send the email swing
00:41:23.280 --> 00:41:25.740
extender is this plastic device that
00:41:25.740 --> 00:41:29.100
goes in between here basically it
00:41:29.100 --> 00:41:31.530
prevents you from over bending your arm
00:41:31.530 --> 00:41:36.300
on the backswing but I have have seen it
00:41:36.300 --> 00:41:39.300
used successfully in trying to Train
00:41:39.300 --> 00:41:43.170
keeping the bend during the down swing
00:41:43.170 --> 00:41:46.950
the key the key is the down the line a
00:41:46.950 --> 00:41:48.570
lot of golfers who would work on that
00:41:48.570 --> 00:41:51.690
would still get the club too far out in
00:41:51.690 --> 00:41:53.340
front of them so you'd have to make sure
00:41:53.340 --> 00:41:55.020
that you're getting some of the
00:41:55.020 --> 00:41:56.880
shallowing as you're keeping that Bend
00:41:56.880 --> 00:41:59.280
and that shallowing would come more from
00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:02.330
the external rotation or from the lead
00:42:02.330 --> 00:42:06.000
lead form rotation instead of actively
00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:11.790
from the shoulder but that can be that
00:42:11.790 --> 00:42:13.110
can be useful if that's your main
00:42:13.110 --> 00:42:15.210
barrier like let's say you're working on
00:42:15.210 --> 00:42:17.580
sequencing and you recognize you see it
00:42:17.580 --> 00:42:19.890
on video you see that your main barrier
00:42:19.890 --> 00:42:21.750
to sequencing is that right arm tends to
00:42:21.750 --> 00:42:24.150
get straight too soon then doing
00:42:24.150 --> 00:42:26.850
something to actively prevent you from
00:42:26.850 --> 00:42:28.500
straightening it too soon will help
00:42:28.500 --> 00:42:31.320
encourage the body to lead longer and
00:42:31.320 --> 00:42:31.600
longer
00:42:31.600 --> 00:42:33.670
in the downswing so that's the smart way
00:42:33.670 --> 00:42:38.550
to use the training aids is to use it to
00:42:38.550 --> 00:42:41.410
directly affect one skill don't just use
00:42:41.410 --> 00:42:43.390
it because you think that it's the right
00:42:43.390 --> 00:42:45.780
thing to do
00:42:45.780 --> 00:42:49.540
all right how about the pitch grip I
00:42:49.540 --> 00:42:54.250
don't don't know what the pitch grip is
00:42:54.250 --> 00:42:57.850
so shoot me an email about that one and
00:42:57.850 --> 00:42:59.250
I'll take a look at it
00:42:59.250 --> 00:43:02.260
chris is asking about the halo I haven't
00:43:02.260 --> 00:43:04.870
used the halo myself one of my
00:43:04.870 --> 00:43:07.240
colleagues does speak highly of it but I
00:43:07.240 --> 00:43:09.130
have yet to get my hands on one and try
00:43:09.130 --> 00:43:13.120
one I've tried the muse and I like it
00:43:13.120 --> 00:43:15.610
but I have yet to try the halo on that
00:43:15.610 --> 00:43:22.150
side any aids for the release yes the
00:43:22.150 --> 00:43:23.830
well the impact snap helps the release
00:43:23.830 --> 00:43:28.390
again if you're using it correctly the
00:43:28.390 --> 00:43:33.790
educator works on the release I my
00:43:33.790 --> 00:43:35.740
favorite way to train the releases with
00:43:35.740 --> 00:43:39.970
the single arm drills and just basically
00:43:39.970 --> 00:43:42.430
being a little bit more aware of the
00:43:42.430 --> 00:43:45.070
proper movements and sequencing of the
00:43:45.070 --> 00:43:46.990
shoulders and the arms through the
00:43:46.990 --> 00:43:51.070
release I'm playing around with kind of
00:43:51.070 --> 00:43:52.630
creating some stuff that I think will
00:43:52.630 --> 00:43:55.750
help with that but I haven't seen
00:43:55.750 --> 00:43:58.600
anything great yet on the market that
00:43:58.600 --> 00:44:02.200
specifically trains either the trail or
00:44:02.200 --> 00:44:04.390
the lead arm there's a bunch of things
00:44:04.390 --> 00:44:06.550
that train kind of the club but I
00:44:06.550 --> 00:44:08.080
haven't seen anything that trains the
00:44:08.080 --> 00:44:10.270
whole arm which is why I'm I'm working
00:44:10.270 --> 00:44:15.130
on stuff for that all right we've got we
00:44:15.130 --> 00:44:18.790
got time for maybe one more if anything
00:44:18.790 --> 00:44:22.600
comes in quickly I want to sorry for the
00:44:22.600 --> 00:44:26.230
little audio issue this time I will
00:44:26.230 --> 00:44:29.320
however basically I'll make sure that
00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:34.330
the mic is plugged in next time one
00:44:34.330 --> 00:44:37.510
quick last question any training aids
00:44:37.510 --> 00:44:41.620
for the lower body sequencing well um so
00:44:41.620 --> 00:44:44.800
that's a great question so lower body
00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:45.549
sequencing
00:44:45.549 --> 00:44:49.509
the the things that I like to do to work
00:44:49.509 --> 00:44:51.640
on improving lower-body sequencing is to
00:44:51.640 --> 00:44:53.919
get you aware of how your feet need to
00:44:53.919 --> 00:44:56.319
work against the ground so my favorite
00:44:56.319 --> 00:44:57.939
things to do especially in the offseason
00:44:57.939 --> 00:45:02.799
are more like lateral agility drills you
00:45:02.799 --> 00:45:07.289
know people who like to ice skate right
00:45:07.289 --> 00:45:11.169
helps learn how to push against the
00:45:11.169 --> 00:45:14.109
ground properly typically I find that
00:45:14.109 --> 00:45:16.419
golfers who struggle more with the lower
00:45:16.419 --> 00:45:20.140
body sequencing have poorer balance poor
00:45:20.140 --> 00:45:22.869
foot ankle awareness and have never done
00:45:22.869 --> 00:45:24.489
any skills where they had to move
00:45:24.489 --> 00:45:28.359
laterally or change direction quickly
00:45:28.359 --> 00:45:31.959
and and so doing things working on
00:45:31.959 --> 00:45:34.359
that's why things like step drills and
00:45:34.359 --> 00:45:37.419
step drills swinging the rope work
00:45:37.419 --> 00:45:40.809
really well though the the leader board
00:45:40.809 --> 00:45:42.479
was an interesting device because it got
00:45:42.479 --> 00:45:46.509
good muscle activation but it didn't
00:45:46.509 --> 00:45:49.569
necessarily train the proper foot
00:45:49.569 --> 00:45:54.099
mechanics so I ID fault two lateral
00:45:54.099 --> 00:45:57.519
shuffles lateral bounding and then step
00:45:57.519 --> 00:46:02.409
drills working on the Jackson 5 but for
00:46:02.409 --> 00:46:04.329
those who do rollerblading and ice
00:46:04.329 --> 00:46:06.249
skating work really well for helping
00:46:06.249 --> 00:46:09.429
train lower body sequencing just make
00:46:09.429 --> 00:46:11.469
sure you know how to ice-skate before
00:46:11.469 --> 00:46:14.229
you go out there and try to do it
00:46:14.229 --> 00:46:18.279
explosively if you have any other any
00:46:18.279 --> 00:46:20.259
other thoughts we're kind of coming to
00:46:20.259 --> 00:46:21.939
the end of our our time here so if you
00:46:21.939 --> 00:46:23.469
have any other questions feel free to
00:46:23.469 --> 00:46:26.049
shoot me an email at support at golf
00:46:26.049 --> 00:46:27.069
smart academy.com
00:46:27.069 --> 00:46:29.019
or if you have any suggestions for
00:46:29.019 --> 00:46:31.449
topics you'd like to see covered in
00:46:31.449 --> 00:46:33.869
future q A's

the book that I launched in November
00:46:59.630 --> 00:47:02.510
will probably do a QA where we'll just
00:47:02.510 --> 00:47:05.330
go through questions based on topics
00:47:05.330 --> 00:47:07.250
that I've covered in the book that was
00:47:07.250 --> 00:47:08.630
one suggestion and we'll get that
00:47:08.630 --> 00:47:12.320
probably going pretty soon it's been
00:47:12.320 --> 00:47:13.850
pretty well received I'm pretty happy
00:47:13.850 --> 00:47:14.330
with it
00:47:14.330 --> 00:47:17.360
so I love if you check it out and review

currently selling it if you have any
00:47:21.680 --> 00:47:26.150
questions about training AIDS offseason
00:47:26.150 --> 00:47:28.220
programs again send them to support and
00:47:28.220 --> 00:47:30.200
I'll answer them directly but thanks

the up with the Oh put the link to the
00:47:37.640 --> 00:47:40.600
right arm drills in the link below
00:47:40.600 --> 00:47:43.730
absolutely Chris I'll see hit the next
00:47:43.730 --> 00:47:45.530
