00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.740
This content video is discussing over the top at the bottom.

2
00:00:04.740 --> 00:00:10.340
So we actually had a member question about, hey, everything I try, I still get

3
00:00:10.340 --> 00:00:11.040
a little

4
00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:16.080
bit steep, a little bit over the top, but it's at the bottom of the swing.

5
00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:20.910
So basically, if you're looking at your checkpoints on video, and right around

6
00:00:20.910 --> 00:00:21.840
here, the club

7
00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:25.680
is inside the hands or inside the target line.

8
00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:29.520
So it's not out there compared to the stick, but it's inside through here.

9
00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:34.580
I'm all set up to come from the inside, but some golfers, depending on how they

10
00:00:34.580 --> 00:00:35.240
release

11
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:41.000
the club, will typically get a little bit steep or a little bit outside.

12
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:47.140
Often times they can struggle with toe contact, fat contact, or pulse.

13
00:00:47.140 --> 00:00:50.240
That's the classic kind of over the top, late pattern.

14
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:54.170
And it could be a pull hook if you have a good amount of motorcycle as you're

15
00:00:54.170 --> 00:00:54.800
releasing

16
00:00:54.800 --> 00:00:56.280
that way.

17
00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:01.630
So there's only a handful of causes for that movement, but I'll talk about the

18
00:01:01.630 --> 00:01:02.300
two most

19
00:01:02.300 --> 00:01:03.300
common.

20
00:01:03.300 --> 00:01:11.020
The two most common that I see would be either an inability or a lack of ulnar

21
00:01:11.020 --> 00:01:12.640
deviation.

22
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:20.020
So if I keep this radial deviation, that will, I would basically miss the

23
00:01:20.020 --> 00:01:21.600
ground unless I

24
00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:27.910
swing the shape of the swing enough to the left to basically create low point

25
00:01:27.910 --> 00:01:29.000
forward.

26
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:30.960
This typically comes with a steep angle of attack.

27
00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:35.690
So if I do that one, I'm typically going to struggle with the longer clubs,

28
00:01:35.690 --> 00:01:36.320
three-wood

29
00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:42.840
contact, driver contact, and get very diggy contact even with my irons.

30
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:47.850
So that would look, I'm in this position, but instead of the club continuing to

31
00:01:47.850 --> 00:01:49.320
go down,

32
00:01:49.320 --> 00:01:52.700
it's going to tend to drift out just like so.

33
00:01:52.700 --> 00:01:58.280
And you'll see that the shaft gets closer to horizontal instead of getting

34
00:01:58.280 --> 00:01:59.320
vertical.

35
00:01:59.320 --> 00:02:04.370
So that one's definitely one of the most common causes of getting steep down

36
00:02:04.370 --> 00:02:05.080
there at the

37
00:02:05.080 --> 00:02:08.520
bottom, or getting over the top at the bottom.

38
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:12.130
One of the other causes is that trail shoulder, and this is, I'd say a

39
00:02:12.130 --> 00:02:13.640
compliment, oftentimes

40
00:02:13.640 --> 00:02:19.420
these guys will happen in tandem, but getting that trail shoulder to go into

41
00:02:19.420 --> 00:02:20.880
too much internal

42
00:02:20.880 --> 00:02:22.720
rotation down at the bottom.

43
00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:27.040
So typically this one will happen when the arm is loaded in that position.

44
00:02:27.040 --> 00:02:31.770
It's kind of behind like this, and then it'll look like it's got more of a

45
00:02:31.770 --> 00:02:32.560
stall and more

46
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:35.000
of a throw kind of like that.

47
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:39.860
And oftentimes they'll come in and they'll hold the face kind of open more on

48
00:02:39.860 --> 00:02:40.440
the way

49
00:02:40.440 --> 00:02:41.440
through.

50
00:02:41.440 --> 00:02:46.280
So it'll have a really big look of a throw of the wrist.

51
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:50.620
So if I'm facing this way, so now you can see from that down the line, it'll

52
00:02:50.620 --> 00:02:51.200
get back

53
00:02:51.200 --> 00:02:56.280
here and then it'll have a look where the club goes way to the left like this.

54
00:02:56.280 --> 00:03:03.780
So if that golfer is doing nine to threes, they'll have a hard time getting the

55
00:03:03.780 --> 00:03:04.360
club

56
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:07.400
not to finish way to the left.

57
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:11.710
So if you're doing the nine to threes, which is a good way to train steep at

58
00:03:11.710 --> 00:03:12.400
the bot or

59
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:17.070
train yourself out of the steep of the bottom pattern, you can get it a little

60
00:03:17.070 --> 00:03:17.400
bit more

61
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:22.280
down and you'll be able to get more of a right start line by getting the club

62
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:23.000
to finish

63
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:26.540
more out to the right at the end of the nine to three instead of way to the

64
00:03:26.540 --> 00:03:27.280
left, which

65
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:31.680
comes more from that trail wrist, trail shoulder.

66
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:36.410
Or if you finish with the club slightly below your hands, that's a good sign

67
00:03:36.410 --> 00:03:36.920
that you did

68
00:03:36.920 --> 00:03:41.890
the ulnar deviation, if it finishes above your hands kind of like that, then

69
00:03:41.890 --> 00:03:42.400
that's

70
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:46.100
a good sign that you're using more of the radial deviation or not getting

71
00:03:46.100 --> 00:03:46.680
enough of

72
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:48.480
that shallard.

73
00:03:48.480 --> 00:03:55.590
The one, sometimes golfers who are not as hand aware or arm aware, if you're

74
00:03:55.590 --> 00:03:56.520
struggling

75
00:03:56.520 --> 00:04:01.570
with these, then you can also focus on more of the body and more of a bracing

76
00:04:01.570 --> 00:04:02.320
position

77
00:04:02.320 --> 00:04:08.650
of the body being back, but oftentimes those golfers are going to have really

78
00:04:08.650 --> 00:04:11.000
bad fat contact

79
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:15.340
if they just get the body back there and they don't make at least some change

80
00:04:15.340 --> 00:04:15.880
to what they're

81
00:04:15.880 --> 00:04:17.200
doing with the arms.

82
00:04:17.200 --> 00:04:20.810
So if you're getting steep at the bottom, either look at that right arm going

83
00:04:20.810 --> 00:04:21.540
into internal

84
00:04:21.540 --> 00:04:27.110
rotation or the wrist not going into ulnar deviation, those are two most common

85
00:04:27.110 --> 00:04:27.720
causes

86
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:32.820
of getting steep at the bottom when you're in a really good position at shaft

87
00:04:32.820 --> 00:04:34.000
last parallel,

88
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:38.730
but then you still get steep and you still get a left miss pattern down at the

89
00:04:38.730 --> 00:04:38.960
bottom

90
00:04:38.960 --> 00:04:39.960
of this one.

91
00:04:39.960 --> 00:04:43.270
Those are the two main causes and we got lots of drills to work on how the

92
00:04:43.270 --> 00:04:44.120
trail arm works

93
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.720
or how the ulnar deviation works on both sides.
