00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.280
This video is my view of the hand path so we're gonna do just a global hand

2
00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:05.480
path

3
00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:10.320
of what's going on during the golf swing. They've always talked about the swing

4
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:14.400
plane but we now know that the hands and the path of the arms and the path of

5
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:14.460
the

6
00:00:14.460 --> 00:00:19.920
club are going on is slightly different than a true swing plane. So from the

7
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:20.200
top

8
00:00:20.200 --> 00:00:24.690
of the swing the first thing we're gonna see is a little bit of a shallowing

9
00:00:24.690 --> 00:00:24.800
out

10
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:28.520
of the club so if I did it from this point of view it's gonna go go like

11
00:00:28.520 --> 00:00:33.260
this. Now it's very very slight but what that does is that prepares or that

12
00:00:33.260 --> 00:00:37.560
builds a force that when I pull in is gonna cause that club face to square

13
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:45.440
that way. So what'll happen I'll show two perspectives. So I'm gonna go to the

14
00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:49.000
top of the swing. There's that first shallow move now I'll do that watch in

15
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:54.200
the club. So there's that first shallow move now you'll look you'll see from my

16
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:58.080
perspective it looks very dramatic from the camera's perspective it's not gonna

17
00:00:58.080 --> 00:01:02.640
look too dramatic. Now we're gonna use my visual alignment system or visual

18
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:03.680
kind

19
00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:08.480
of reference frames here so we got target line perpendicular inside 45 and

20
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:13.240
then outside 45 just far enough away so that I'm not gonna make contact if I

21
00:01:13.240 --> 00:01:18.880
did swing. So I'm gonna do that first move and once I get to about delivery

22
00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:23.680
position you'll see right around here the club is roughly parallel to this

23
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:28.040
target line. Now from here what's going to happen is because of my body

24
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:32.920
continuing to rotate the path of my hands even though they're extending away

25
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:39.360
from me is going to be coming in just like so. So you'll get a good perspective

26
00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:45.320
of it right here where you'll see that my hands are going in even though the

27
00:01:45.320 --> 00:01:55.480
club where the club head is going down and out. So it ends up looking kind of

28
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:59.400
something like that. We'll go ahead and hit one show you how this hand path

29
00:01:59.400 --> 00:01:59.640
thing

30
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:07.360
works. So that's a perspective on my view of what the hands are doing through

31
00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:10.960
the majority of the golf swing. So now let's go over a couple ways that you

32
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:15.640
might have problems with this. So what a lot of golfers will do and I'll show

33
00:02:15.640 --> 00:02:19.960
you what it would look like is they will get the club out away and those arms

34
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:23.800
extended kind of down like so and then they will basically bring the club

35
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:28.520
straight through kind of like this. So that's more of a cast pattern where my

36
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:33.120
arms are getting extended very very soon and then you can see the path of the

37
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:38.160
club coming through slightly out in. It doesn't look that dramatic from here

38
00:02:38.160 --> 00:02:43.280
but if I was to look at it from the down the line view basically it would look

39
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:47.160
like it's coming kind of major left to right. That's one of these optical

40
00:02:47.160 --> 00:02:50.960
illusion things that we have to get over. The other piece that we'll tend to

41
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:51.160
see

42
00:02:51.160 --> 00:02:55.380
is going to be more of an early extension. So if my body goes in this way I'll

43
00:02:55.380 --> 00:02:55.520
get

44
00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:00.920
a lot of that early move but now as I'm extending my arms what you'll see is

45
00:03:00.920 --> 00:03:06.920
compared to the target line you will see that my hands are kind of continually

46
00:03:06.920 --> 00:03:12.440
going in and out. So what will happen is if I do that it becomes very hard for

47
00:03:12.440 --> 00:03:12.560
me

48
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:17.360
to have a downward strike. I'm going to basically pick the ball or if I am

49
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:21.360
going to have a downward strike it's going to come from an overly forward

50
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:29.350
body position kind of like so. So either the cast going out like so or the

51
00:03:29.350 --> 00:03:29.720
early

52
00:03:29.720 --> 00:03:34.680
extension are going to cause problems with this hand path and hopefully you

53
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:41.200
can see as I look down here what we're trying to accomplish by having these

54
00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:46.820
hands follow my body as I release. So now I'll go ahead and try one here for

55
00:03:46.820 --> 00:03:46.960
you

56
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:51.080
so you can see what that'll all look like.

57
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:59.440
So hopefully that helps you understand why we're doing the things in transition

58
00:03:59.440 --> 00:03:59.440
,

59
00:03:59.440 --> 00:04:02.760
why we're doing the things in the release. Ultimately what's that's going

60
00:04:02.760 --> 00:04:06.040
to do to the club and how that's going to help you overcome your major swing

61
00:04:06.040 --> 00:04:06.480
issues.
