00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.480
This video is answering a member question about the timing of when you're going
2
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:06.560
to
3
00:00:06.560 --> 00:00:11.880
let the shaft kind of tumble, or basically the timing of when you're going to
4
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:13.080
apply
5
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:14.440
this movement.
6
00:00:14.440 --> 00:00:20.460
So I try to emphasize in the Zorro swings, and if you're unfamiliar with that,
7
00:00:20.460 --> 00:00:21.520
I recommend
8
00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:23.400
you go and check that one out.
9
00:00:23.400 --> 00:00:27.720
But the timing of the tumble is basically going to be as you're extending your
10
00:00:27.720 --> 00:00:28.120
arms
11
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:29.680
out during the release.
12
00:00:29.680 --> 00:00:33.960
So during transition, you're going to have this kind of reverse tumble that's
13
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:34.360
built
14
00:00:34.360 --> 00:00:35.940
in the Zorro swings.
15
00:00:35.940 --> 00:00:40.950
This reverse tumble is eventually going to kind of create some stretch in some
16
00:00:40.950 --> 00:00:41.160
of my
17
00:00:41.160 --> 00:00:44.530
muscles that I'm not going to be able to hold back, and I'm going to use that
18
00:00:44.530 --> 00:00:45.040
momentum
19
00:00:45.040 --> 00:00:48.200
or use that stretch to then create the tumble.
20
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:51.120
So this would be the tumble starts now.
21
00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:53.000
Tumble is right there.
22
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:57.030
Where that happens in the golf swing is I've dropped and kind of gotten this
23
00:00:57.030 --> 00:00:57.560
club on a
24
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:00.200
shallow plane, I'm exaggerating it for this video.
25
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:04.180
So I've dropped and got this club on the shallow plane, and then if I was just
26
00:01:04.180 --> 00:01:04.920
continually
27
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:09.330
let this club swing along that orbit, it would probably swing with the club
28
00:01:09.330 --> 00:01:10.040
something
29
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:11.520
out like that.
30
00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:12.520
And that wouldn't work too well.
31
00:01:12.520 --> 00:01:14.600
It would tend to leave the ball off to the right.
32
00:01:14.600 --> 00:01:19.610
So eventually what's going to happen is I have to then get the club coming back
33
00:01:19.610 --> 00:01:19.840
out
34
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:24.850
in front of me or use that little Zorro move to tumble the club to help square
35
00:01:24.850 --> 00:01:26.640
the face.
36
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:31.650
So we'll show it one more time, actually we'll show it kind of in its real
37
00:01:31.650 --> 00:01:32.280
phase.
38
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:38.110
So once we're right in about here, as we go to extend, there is this continued
39
00:01:38.110 --> 00:01:38.920
rotation.
40
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:44.110
But the rotation is happening because I'm extending my arms from a rotated
41
00:01:44.110 --> 00:01:45.120
position.
42
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:49.100
It's not that I just have them here and I'm just magically rotating them like
43
00:01:49.100 --> 00:01:49.440
so.
44
00:01:49.440 --> 00:01:53.510
I'm not just trying to kind of whip my forearms one on top of the other, but
45
00:01:53.510 --> 00:01:54.640
because they're
46
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:59.520
rotated when I go to extend them, it's not just going to extend like so.
47
00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:03.680
I'm going to allow them to rotate with the mass of the club.
48
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:05.960
So hope that helps clear it up.
49
00:02:05.960 --> 00:02:09.160
The timing of the tumble is going to be somewhere in here.
50
00:02:09.160 --> 00:02:12.920
If you're doing it too soon, you'll tend to hit more poles.
51
00:02:12.920 --> 00:02:17.720
If you're doing it too late, you'll tend to hit shanks or blocks.
52
00:02:17.720 --> 00:02:21.700
But if you're doing it just right, you tend to hit that nice little penetrating
53
00:02:21.700 --> 00:02:22.160
draw,
54
00:02:22.160 --> 00:02:26.400
which we feel is one of the more effective ball flights.
55
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.750
You can control your body rotation and hit a little fade with it too if you
56
00:02:29.750 --> 00:02:30.200
want.
57
00:02:30.200 --> 00:02:34.180
But it's going to be more of a penetrating and powerful ball flight with clean
58
00:02:34.180 --> 00:02:34.840
contact.
59
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:37.380
And that's ultimately what's going to give us the power and the consistency
60
00:02:37.380 --> 00:02:37.840
that we're
61
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:38.520
striving for.

If you're doing it too soon, you'll tend to hit more poles.
51
00:02:12.920 --> 00:02:17.720
If you're doing it too late, you'll tend to hit shanks or blocks.
52
00:02:17.720 --> 00:02:21.700
But if you're doing it just right, you tend to hit that nice little penetrating
53
00:02:21.700 --> 00:02:22.160
draw,
54
00:02:22.160 --> 00:02:26.400
which we feel is one of the more effective ball flights.
55
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.750
You can control your body rotation and hit a little fade with it too if you
56
00:02:29.750 --> 00:02:30.200
want.
57
00:02:30.200 --> 00:02:34.180
But it's going to be more of a penetrating and powerful ball flight with clean
58
00:02:34.180 --> 00:02:34.840
contact.
59
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:37.380
And that's ultimately what's going to give us the power and the consistency
60
00:02:37.380 --> 00:02:37.840
that we're
61
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:38.520
striving for.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.480
This video is answering a member question about the timing of when you're going
2
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:06.560
to
3
00:00:06.560 --> 00:00:11.880
let the shaft kind of tumble, or basically the timing of when you're going to
4
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:13.080
apply
5
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:14.440
this movement.
6
00:00:14.440 --> 00:00:20.460
So I try to emphasize in the Zorro swings, and if you're unfamiliar with that,
7
00:00:20.460 --> 00:00:21.520
I recommend
8
00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:23.400
you go and check that one out.
9
00:00:23.400 --> 00:00:27.720
But the timing of the tumble is basically going to be as you're extending your
10
00:00:27.720 --> 00:00:28.120
arms
11
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:29.680
out during the release.
12
00:00:29.680 --> 00:00:33.960
So during transition, you're going to have this kind of reverse tumble that's
13
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:34.360
built
14
00:00:34.360 --> 00:00:35.940
in the Zorro swings.
15
00:00:35.940 --> 00:00:40.950
This reverse tumble is eventually going to kind of create some stretch in some
16
00:00:40.950 --> 00:00:41.160
of my
17
00:00:41.160 --> 00:00:44.530
muscles that I'm not going to be able to hold back, and I'm going to use that
18
00:00:44.530 --> 00:00:45.040
momentum
19
00:00:45.040 --> 00:00:48.200
or use that stretch to then create the tumble.
20
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:51.120
So this would be the tumble starts now.
21
00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:53.000
Tumble is right there.
22
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:57.030
Where that happens in the golf swing is I've dropped and kind of gotten this
23
00:00:57.030 --> 00:00:57.560
club on a
24
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:00.200
shallow plane, I'm exaggerating it for this video.
25
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:04.180
So I've dropped and got this club on the shallow plane, and then if I was just
26
00:01:04.180 --> 00:01:04.920
continually
27
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:09.330
let this club swing along that orbit, it would probably swing with the club
28
00:01:09.330 --> 00:01:10.040
something
29
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:11.520
out like that.
30
00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:12.520
And that wouldn't work too well.
31
00:01:12.520 --> 00:01:14.600
It would tend to leave the ball off to the right.
32
00:01:14.600 --> 00:01:19.610
So eventually what's going to happen is I have to then get the club coming back
33
00:01:19.610 --> 00:01:19.840
out
34
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:24.850
in front of me or use that little Zorro move to tumble the club to help square
35
00:01:24.850 --> 00:01:26.640
the face.
36
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:31.650
So we'll show it one more time, actually we'll show it kind of in its real
37
00:01:31.650 --> 00:01:32.280
phase.
38
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:38.110
So once we're right in about here, as we go to extend, there is this continued
39
00:01:38.110 --> 00:01:38.920
rotation.
40
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:44.110
But the rotation is happening because I'm extending my arms from a rotated
41
00:01:44.110 --> 00:01:45.120
position.
42
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:49.100
It's not that I just have them here and I'm just magically rotating them like
43
00:01:49.100 --> 00:01:49.440
so.
44
00:01:49.440 --> 00:01:53.510
I'm not just trying to kind of whip my forearms one on top of the other, but
45
00:01:53.510 --> 00:01:54.640
because they're
46
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:59.520
rotated when I go to extend them, it's not just going to extend like so.
47
00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:03.680
I'm going to allow them to rotate with the mass of the club.
48
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:05.960
So hope that helps clear it up.
49
00:02:05.960 --> 00:02:09.160
The timing of the tumble is going to be somewhere in here.
50
00:02:09.160 --> 00:02:12.920
If you're doing it too soon, you'll tend to hit more poles.
51
00:02:12.920 --> 00:02:17.720
If you're doing it too late, you'll tend to hit shanks or blocks.
52
00:02:17.720 --> 00:02:21.700
But if you're doing it just right, you tend to hit that nice little penetrating
53
00:02:21.700 --> 00:02:22.160
draw,
54
00:02:22.160 --> 00:02:26.400
which we feel is one of the more effective ball flights.
55
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.750
You can control your body rotation and hit a little fade with it too if you
56
00:02:29.750 --> 00:02:30.200
want.
57
00:02:30.200 --> 00:02:34.180
But it's going to be more of a penetrating and powerful ball flight with clean
58
00:02:34.180 --> 00:02:34.840
contact.
59
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:37.380
And that's ultimately what's going to give us the power and the consistency
60
00:02:37.380 --> 00:02:37.840
that we're
61
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:38.520
striving for.
