00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.520
It's really a path of the follow through.
2
00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:06.120
So I've got the alignments that are going down the line.
3
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:08.320
And basically what we're going to do is we're going to take a look at the
4
00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:08.680
follow through
5
00:00:08.680 --> 00:00:11.680
position and just look at where the shaft is.
6
00:00:11.680 --> 00:00:18.010
So you're going to get set up to a ball, you're not actually, you can hit, I'm
7
00:00:18.010 --> 00:00:18.120
not
8
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:23.040
actually going to, but you absolutely can hit either nine to three or kind of
9
00:00:23.040 --> 00:00:24.280
half shots.
10
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:27.700
But what you're going to do is you're going to check that follow through
11
00:00:27.700 --> 00:00:28.320
position kind
12
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:29.320
of like so.
13
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:31.200
But side bend and the arms out.
14
00:00:31.200 --> 00:00:34.730
Now what you're going to be looking for is you're going to set up with an
15
00:00:34.730 --> 00:00:35.400
alignment
16
00:00:35.400 --> 00:00:39.640
stick pretty much even with your, or parallel to your stance line or even with
17
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:40.440
your toes.
18
00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:45.950
So now when I go through, I roughly want the club to be parallel with that
19
00:00:45.950 --> 00:00:47.240
stance line.
20
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:49.960
So I've got the club on the ground.
21
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:53.170
As I go through to follow through position, you can see that the club is
22
00:00:53.170 --> 00:00:53.920
roughly parallel
23
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:54.920
here.
24
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:57.720
There's obviously two different scenarios I could have.
25
00:00:57.720 --> 00:01:01.140
Again, if I go to this follow through position and the club is way out to the
26
00:01:01.140 --> 00:01:01.800
right, most
27
00:01:01.800 --> 00:01:06.570
likely I've kind of early extended and lifted more with my arms through the
28
00:01:06.570 --> 00:01:07.640
shot as opposed
29
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:11.360
to keeping my hips back and letting my upper body turn.
30
00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:16.400
So problem one would be two into out, which we get the club kind of pointed
31
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:17.160
there.
32
00:01:17.160 --> 00:01:22.680
Option two would be where I've got the club pointed way to the left.
33
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:27.030
This will typically happen having too much right wrist and having this right
34
00:01:27.030 --> 00:01:27.680
shoulder
35
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:28.680
get very high.
36
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:32.900
If I was to continue side bending and take a little bit of the wrist out of it,
37
00:01:32.900 --> 00:01:33.520
now this
38
00:01:33.520 --> 00:01:35.800
is pointed more in the direction of the target.
39
00:01:35.800 --> 00:01:38.960
So that would look more like this one.
40
00:01:38.960 --> 00:01:42.570
Ideally we're going to have the body kind of power this movement and then the
41
00:01:42.570 --> 00:01:43.360
arms just
42
00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:48.440
extending away from my body as they're coming up and in and left.
43
00:01:48.440 --> 00:01:53.290
So as my body continues to get my hands pointing directly away from me and
44
00:01:53.290 --> 00:01:54.840
towards the target,
45
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:56.880
my arms are still extending away from me.
46
00:01:56.880 --> 00:02:00.700
So this is a great way to check that follow through position and make sure you
47
00:02:00.700 --> 00:02:01.160
're not
48
00:02:01.160 --> 00:02:03.560
predisposed to getting into one of the big swing misses.

likely I've kind of early extended and lifted more with my arms through the
28
00:01:06.570 --> 00:01:07.640
shot as opposed
29
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:11.360
to keeping my hips back and letting my upper body turn.
30
00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:16.400
So problem one would be two into out, which we get the club kind of pointed
31
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:17.160
there.
32
00:01:17.160 --> 00:01:22.680
Option two would be where I've got the club pointed way to the left.
33
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:27.030
This will typically happen having too much right wrist and having this right
34
00:01:27.030 --> 00:01:27.680
shoulder
35
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:28.680
get very high.
36
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:32.900
If I was to continue side bending and take a little bit of the wrist out of it,
37
00:01:32.900 --> 00:01:33.520
now this
38
00:01:33.520 --> 00:01:35.800
is pointed more in the direction of the target.
39
00:01:35.800 --> 00:01:38.960
So that would look more like this one.
40
00:01:38.960 --> 00:01:42.570
Ideally we're going to have the body kind of power this movement and then the
41
00:01:42.570 --> 00:01:43.360
arms just
42
00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:48.440
extending away from my body as they're coming up and in and left.
43
00:01:48.440 --> 00:01:53.290
So as my body continues to get my hands pointing directly away from me and
44
00:01:53.290 --> 00:01:54.840
towards the target,
45
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:56.880
my arms are still extending away from me.
46
00:01:56.880 --> 00:02:00.700
So this is a great way to check that follow through position and make sure you
47
00:02:00.700 --> 00:02:01.160
're not
48
00:02:01.160 --> 00:02:03.560
predisposed to getting into one of the big swing misses.
