2
00:00:02.580 --> 00:00:07.040
- This kind of video is answering Greg's question
3
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:10.880
about transferring linear speed to angular speed.
4
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:14.760
So basically looking at the idea that at some point
5
00:00:14.760 --> 00:00:17.600
I want this club to go kind of whipping through impact
6
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:19.760
and create a lot of speed.
7
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:21.880
So there's two different ideas here.
8
00:00:21.880 --> 00:00:25.600
There's how I'm applying force or creating speed
9
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:28.360
in the grip and then how I'm gonna transfer that speed
10
00:00:28.360 --> 00:00:29.520
to the club head.
11
00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:33.120
Now this question actually has a pretty simple answer.
12
00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:37.880
The simple answer is that I want to use my body
13
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:41.800
to pull on the club in a specific direction
14
00:00:41.800 --> 00:00:43.920
that causes the club to kick out
15
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:48.840
as opposed to using my hands to just throw the club out.
16
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:53.760
So essentially, if I was in this position right here
17
00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:56.640
and I anchored the club with my right hand,
18
00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:00.080
if I pull like this, that's gonna cause the club
19
00:01:00.080 --> 00:01:03.200
to go throwing out towards the golf ball.
20
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.100
That's more of what I want to get as opposed to
21
00:01:06.100 --> 00:01:08.080
if I anchor here with my left hand
22
00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:11.600
and I was to then throw the club by kind of pushing
23
00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:13.440
on the club with my hands.
24
00:01:13.440 --> 00:01:17.020
So what many amateurs do is they get to a certain point
25
00:01:17.020 --> 00:01:20.160
somewhere around here and then they start using the wrist
26
00:01:20.160 --> 00:01:23.200
and kind of twisting the grip and throwing the club
27
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:24.380
down to the golf ball.
28
00:01:24.380 --> 00:01:29.040
Ideally, what you're gonna do is you are going to apply force
29
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:32.140
in the direction of the grip during the whole swing.
30
00:01:32.140 --> 00:01:35.000
So when I'm up here, I'm going to apply force
31
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:36.640
at this camera.
32
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:39.520
Boom, now when I'm here, I'm gonna use body rotation
33
00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:42.520
to apply force briefly down at the ground.
34
00:01:42.520 --> 00:01:45.640
But now that I'm here, I'm going to apply force
35
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:47.160
out in front of the golf ball.
36
00:01:47.160 --> 00:01:49.280
That's kind of the white movement right there.
37
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.320
And that brought the club head below parallel.
38
00:01:53.320 --> 00:01:56.340
Now as I start applying force this way,
39
00:01:56.340 --> 00:01:59.540
that's going to then take that linear speed
40
00:01:59.540 --> 00:02:02.100
and convert it to angular and get it to pull out
41
00:02:02.100 --> 00:02:05.540
or get the club to kick out and go down towards the ground
42
00:02:05.540 --> 00:02:06.860
and into the golf ball.
43
00:02:06.860 --> 00:02:10.900
This concept of basically using my body rotation
44
00:02:10.900 --> 00:02:13.940
and the direction that I'm pulling in order to create
45
00:02:13.940 --> 00:02:17.420
the angular speed tends to create more of this flat spot
46
00:02:17.420 --> 00:02:20.300
at the bottom that gives us a little bit more consistency.
47
00:02:20.300 --> 00:02:25.300
So if you struggle with either getting this too soon,
48
00:02:25.300 --> 00:02:30.580
so if I use just my hands to create that angular speed,
49
00:02:30.580 --> 00:02:32.860
then what'll happen is it's pretty slow.
50
00:02:32.860 --> 00:02:35.180
And I just kind of like sweep the whole thing.
51
00:02:35.180 --> 00:02:39.200
So I go angular first and then I go linear second.
52
00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:43.540
Ideally, because of creating some lag
53
00:02:43.540 --> 00:02:47.140
and using my body sequence, I'm gonna tend to go linear
54
00:02:47.140 --> 00:02:51.060
a lot longer into the downswing and that linear speed
55
00:02:51.060 --> 00:02:54.500
is eventually going to create the angular speed.
56
00:02:54.500 --> 00:02:57.820
So if you pay attention to some of the subtleties
57
00:02:57.820 --> 00:03:00.300
in the release videos and the transition videos,
58
00:03:00.300 --> 00:03:03.340
you'll figure out how to connect this kind of angular speed
59
00:03:03.340 --> 00:03:06.860
but some are linear speed to angular speed.
60
00:03:06.860 --> 00:03:09.620
But sometimes for golfers like Greg
61
00:03:09.620 --> 00:03:12.260
who wanna be able to visualize it a little bit better,
62
00:03:12.260 --> 00:03:15.940
hopefully the idea of applying force along the grip,
63
00:03:15.940 --> 00:03:18.660
the entire swing helps clarify things.
64
00:03:18.660 --> 00:03:22.660
So now just demonstrating those two different ways.
65
00:03:22.660 --> 00:03:28.940
So that one there, I'm basically feeling like I'm pulling
66
00:03:28.940 --> 00:03:32.060
along the club and the club just goes down to the ball
67
00:03:32.060 --> 00:03:35.580
because of my bracing and the counter movement
68
00:03:35.580 --> 00:03:39.340
down during the release versus if I bring it up
69
00:03:39.340 --> 00:03:43.500
and I start kind of throwing it at the ball,
70
00:03:43.500 --> 00:03:46.060
I was able to create some good contact there
71
00:03:46.060 --> 00:03:49.580
and I hit a reasonable shot for this particular case,
72
00:03:49.580 --> 00:03:52.740
but it feels like it's a lot more timing dependent
73
00:03:52.740 --> 00:03:55.060
because I'm using my hands and not creating as good
74
00:03:55.060 --> 00:03:56.060
a flat spot.
75
00:03:56.060 --> 00:03:58.420
So get that body leading the swing,
76
00:03:58.420 --> 00:04:00.300
learn how to use the arms to support them
77
00:04:00.300 --> 00:04:03.180
and that'll help you solve the puzzle of transferring
78
00:04:03.180 --> 00:04:05.980
that linear speed into angular in the most efficient way.
79
00:04:05.980 --> 00:04:08.560

00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:10.880
about transferring linear speed to angular speed.
4
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:14.760

Now this question actually has a pretty simple answer.
12
00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:37.880
The simple answer is that I want to use my body
13
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:41.800
to pull on the club in a specific direction
14
00:00:41.800 --> 00:00:43.920
that causes the club to kick out
15
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:48.840
as opposed to using my hands to just throw the club out.
16
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:53.760
So essentially, if I was in this position right here
17
00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:56.640
and I anchored the club with my right hand,
18
00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:00.080
if I pull like this, that's gonna cause the club
19
00:01:00.080 --> 00:01:03.200
to go throwing out towards the golf ball.
20
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.100
That's more of what I want to get as opposed to
21
00:01:06.100 --> 00:01:08.080
if I anchor here with my left hand
22
00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:11.600
and I was to then throw the club by kind of pushing
23
00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:13.440
on the club with my hands.
24
00:01:13.440 --> 00:01:17.020
So what many amateurs do is they get to a certain point
25
00:01:17.020 --> 00:01:20.160
somewhere around here and then they start using the wrist
26
00:01:20.160 --> 00:01:23.200
and kind of twisting the grip and throwing the club
27
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:24.380
down to the golf ball.
28
00:01:24.380 --> 00:01:29.040
Ideally, what you're gonna do is you are going to apply force
29
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:32.140
in the direction of the grip during the whole swing.
30
00:01:32.140 --> 00:01:35.000
So when I'm up here, I'm going to apply force
31
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:36.640
at this camera.
32
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:39.520
Boom, now when I'm here, I'm gonna use body rotation
33
00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:42.520
to apply force briefly down at the ground.
34
00:01:42.520 --> 00:01:45.640
But now that I'm here, I'm going to apply force
35
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:47.160
out in front of the golf ball.
36
00:01:47.160 --> 00:01:49.280
That's kind of the white movement right there.
37
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.320
And that brought the club head below parallel.
38
00:01:53.320 --> 00:01:56.340
Now as I start applying force this way,
39
00:01:56.340 --> 00:01:59.540
that's going to then take that linear speed
40
00:01:59.540 --> 00:02:02.100
and convert it to angular and get it to pull out
41
00:02:02.100 --> 00:02:05.540
or get the club to kick out and go down towards the ground
42
00:02:05.540 --> 00:02:06.860
and into the golf ball.
43
00:02:06.860 --> 00:02:10.900
This concept of basically using my body rotation
44
00:02:10.900 --> 00:02:13.940
and the direction that I'm pulling in order to create
45
00:02:13.940 --> 00:02:17.420
the angular speed tends to create more of this flat spot
46
00:02:17.420 --> 00:02:20.300
at the bottom that gives us a little bit more consistency.
47
00:02:20.300 --> 00:02:25.300
So if you struggle with either getting this too soon,
48
00:02:25.300 --> 00:02:30.580
so if I use just my hands to create that angular speed,
49
00:02:30.580 --> 00:02:32.860
then what'll happen is it's pretty slow.
50
00:02:32.860 --> 00:02:35.180
And I just kind of like sweep the whole thing.
51
00:02:35.180 --> 00:02:39.200
So I go angular first and then I go linear second.
52
00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:43.540
Ideally, because of creating some lag
53
00:02:43.540 --> 00:02:47.140
and using my body sequence, I'm gonna tend to go linear
54
00:02:47.140 --> 00:02:51.060
a lot longer into the downswing and that linear speed
55
00:02:51.060 --> 00:02:54.500
is eventually going to create the angular speed.
56
00:02:54.500 --> 00:02:57.820
So if you pay attention to some of the subtleties
57
00:02:57.820 --> 00:03:00.300
in the release videos and the transition videos,
58
00:03:00.300 --> 00:03:03.340
you'll figure out how to connect this kind of angular speed
59
00:03:03.340 --> 00:03:06.860
but some are linear speed to angular speed.
60
00:03:06.860 --> 00:03:09.620
But sometimes for golfers like Greg
61
00:03:09.620 --> 00:03:12.260
who wanna be able to visualize it a little bit better,
62
00:03:12.260 --> 00:03:15.940
hopefully the idea of applying force along the grip,
63
00:03:15.940 --> 00:03:18.660
the entire swing helps clarify things.
64
00:03:18.660 --> 00:03:22.660
So now just demonstrating those two different ways.
65
00:03:22.660 --> 00:03:28.940
So that one there, I'm basically feeling like I'm pulling
66
00:03:28.940 --> 00:03:32.060
along the club and the club just goes down to the ball
67
00:03:32.060 --> 00:03:35.580
because of my bracing and the counter movement
68
00:03:35.580 --> 00:03:39.340
down during the release versus if I bring it up
69
00:03:39.340 --> 00:03:43.500
and I start kind of throwing it at the ball,
70
00:03:43.500 --> 00:03:46.060
I was able to create some good contact there
71
00:03:46.060 --> 00:03:49.580
and I hit a reasonable shot for this particular case,
72
00:03:49.580 --> 00:03:52.740
but it feels like it's a lot more timing dependent
73
00:03:52.740 --> 00:03:55.060
because I'm using my hands and not creating as good
74
00:03:55.060 --> 00:03:56.060
a flat spot.
75
00:03:56.060 --> 00:03:58.420
So get that body leading the swing,
76
00:03:58.420 --> 00:04:00.300
learn how to use the arms to support them
77
00:04:00.300 --> 00:04:03.180
and that'll help you solve the puzzle of transferring
78
00:04:03.180 --> 00:04:05.980
that linear speed into angular in the most efficient way.
79
00:04:05.980 --> 00:04:08.560
(upbeat music)
80
00:04:13.500 --> 00:04:16.080
(upbeat music)
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.580
(upbeat music)
2
00:00:02.580 --> 00:00:07.040
- This kind of video is answering Greg's question
3
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:10.880
about transferring linear speed to angular speed.
4
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:14.760
So basically looking at the idea that at some point
5
00:00:14.760 --> 00:00:17.600
I want this club to go kind of whipping through impact
6
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:19.760
and create a lot of speed.
7
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:21.880
So there's two different ideas here.
8
00:00:21.880 --> 00:00:25.600
There's how I'm applying force or creating speed
9
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:28.360
in the grip and then how I'm gonna transfer that speed
10
00:00:28.360 --> 00:00:29.520
to the club head.
11
00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:33.120

12
00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:37.880
