00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
This wedge video is matching the club and the grip speed.

00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,000
So one of the concepts that I really like for,

00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,000
especially when we get into the distance wedges,

00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,000
but it can apply to the finesse wedges well,

00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,000
is working on the follow-through,

00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
and especially kind of the later stages of the release,

00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:28,000
having the grip and the club head kind of revolving around the circle

00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,000
at a similar pacing.

00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,000
As opposed to this would be all grip speed.

00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,000
We'll put that down for a second.

00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,000
So this would be all grip speed compared to the club,

00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,000
and if I exaggerate it even more, it would be kind of like that.

00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Or this would be all handle speed,

00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,000
where basically the point of the grip is kind of frozen in space,

00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000
and the club head works past that.

00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:03,000
As opposed to having the two of them kind of matched up a little bit better,

00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:10,000
where the grip and the handle almost look like they're moving around a point

00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,000
somewhere in the body.

00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:19,000
So having that all work together tends to be a look that I see with more consistent wedge players.

00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,000
I like it in the full swing as well,

00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,000
it seems to be that much more important in the wedges,

00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,000
especially the distance wedges,

00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
but you can work on it in the finesse game as well.

00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:38,000
So to do that, I use a lot of the concept of kind of hit my arms,

00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,000
where basically you're almost trying to match at this waist height position,

00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:49,000
like there's as much speed in the grip as there is going to be in the club head.

00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000
So to demonstrate on the way through,

00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,000
you'll basically see no stall, no flip,

00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,000
but supporting it with my body and continuing that rotation,

00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,000
keeps the grip end of the club moving.

00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,000
It's rare to see golfers have too much grip speed,

00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,000
but it's very common to see that grip kind of stall

00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000
and the club head pass like so.

00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:23,000
So working on keeping the grip moving through the release

00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:29,000
can really help kind of smooth out some of your contact issues,

00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
which will really help with your distance control,

00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,000
especially as we get into kind of the 70-80 90-yard wedge shots.
