00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.160
this video is training positions versus training movements now there's two

2
00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:08.480
different things that we're going to be working on as you go through this golf

3
00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:13.080
smart academy program training the positions of where your body is and

4
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:17.640
training the movements or the relative timing of when these things are

5
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:23.920
happening so I I like to use I'll tell people all the timers help my students

6
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:28.520
you are doing the right movements but you got to work on timing or the timing

7
00:00:28.520 --> 00:00:28.600
is

8
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:31.880
pretty good but you don't quite have the movement right you're you're saving it

9
00:00:31.880 --> 00:00:37.040
with a wrong movement so it's important to understand which you're working on

10
00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:37.320
is

11
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:42.000
it the timing or is it the movements here's the example or here's the analogy

12
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:47.440
imagine I'm I'm shooting a ball in basketball right so ideally I want to

13
00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:50.680
have kind of a 90 degree angle something like this this is kind of my

14
00:00:50.680 --> 00:00:56.480
positions and I want to extend my arm towards the target just like so you know

15
00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:03.360
at roughly 60 70 degree angle everybody's a little bit different those would be

16
00:01:03.360 --> 00:01:08.560
the positions now the timing would be I want to push my legs first then I want

17
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:11.520
to use my shoulder then I want to use my elbow then I want to use my wrist I

18
00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:17.120
could use my wrist first and then use my arm and that would be more of a

19
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:24.360
timing miss issue versus a position a position issue would be if I was

20
00:01:24.360 --> 00:01:28.560
extending my arm over here that's not that's the right timing but it's gonna

21
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:33.800
be hard to make a shot at the basket right there or let's say I had my arm

22
00:01:33.800 --> 00:01:39.440
like this and I shot like that again this could be very good timing but I'm

23
00:01:39.440 --> 00:01:45.280
out of position versus this being good position and I could essentially have a

24
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:49.920
timing issue kind of like that so here's where the most common ones that I'm

25
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:56.560
going to see when we're looking at golf typically position wise you're going to

26
00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:02.360
see during the backswing either the upper body kind of bend or sorry stand up

27
00:02:02.360 --> 00:02:02.480
and

28
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:06.200
not have enough side tilt or you're gonna have the upper body move off the

29
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.720
ball or you're gonna have the lower body sway those are some of our big common

30
00:02:09.720 --> 00:02:15.160
problems that we have featured in the common swing fault section other

31
00:02:15.160 --> 00:02:19.120
positions that will typically have trouble with will be where the arms are

32
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:23.560
going so having the clubface to open not doing the motorcycle not starting with

33
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:28.520
the lower body those are all going to be more positions than they are gonna be

34
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:34.000
timings the typical timings that we're gonna see are going to be either just

35
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:38.880
from a broad sense getting the arms involved too soon so I could be in a

36
00:02:38.880 --> 00:02:43.120
pretty good position but if those arms are getting involved too soon that can

37
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:49.080
affect my quality of contact the cousin to that would be the lower body not

38
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:54.640
getting not leading the downswing compared to the upper body so typically

39
00:02:54.640 --> 00:02:59.680
when you're gonna have positional issues you're gonna have a worse contact

40
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:04.200
problem so it's typically gonna get your path very off sometimes it can get

41
00:03:04.200 --> 00:03:09.200
your face very off but it's gonna cause major contact issues when you tend to

42
00:03:09.200 --> 00:03:14.360
have more sequencing issues you'll have like minor contact issues and you'll

43
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:18.880
tend to have distance inconsistencies so you may have trouble hitting the same

44
00:03:18.880 --> 00:03:25.120
distance shot after shot but if you're using video you should be able to see

45
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:31.680
is it a sequence thing is it more of a position thing is it a timing what do

46
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:38.360
you actually need to work on but oftentimes confusing a sequencing problem

47
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:43.200
and just saying oh I got too quick I need to slow down that's more of a

48
00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:47.420
sequencing thought when oftentimes those are actual position problems and if

49
00:03:47.420 --> 00:03:47.480
you

50
00:03:47.480 --> 00:03:51.920
think it's a position problem such as all the clubface was open but I hooked

51
00:03:51.920 --> 00:03:57.480
the ball essentially that's probably gonna be more of a timing thing so use

52
00:03:57.480 --> 00:04:02.120
the feedback that you can whether it's the ball flight the contact or video and

53
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:07.800
that'll help you not spend so much time chasing the wrong thing it'll help you

54
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:11.120
focus on if you're working on a position or you're working on a timing

55
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:15.880
possibly both but by knowing exactly what to work on it'll help speed up the

56
00:04:15.880 --> 00:04:18.840
learning process
