00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.880
In this concept video, we're going to go over the overview of practicing at
2
00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:05.440
home.
3
00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:11.490
Now, for most of us, getting to the driving range every single day is probably
4
00:00:11.490 --> 00:00:12.640
unrealistic.
5
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:16.690
So you'll notice that I provide a lot of ways that you can practice these key
6
00:00:16.690 --> 00:00:17.360
movements
7
00:00:17.360 --> 00:00:18.360
at home.
8
00:00:18.360 --> 00:00:21.520
Now if you're doing some of these drills and practicing at home, there are a
9
00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:22.040
few things
10
00:00:22.040 --> 00:00:24.120
that I want you to focus on.
11
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:28.480
One, you're going to need some sort of clear feedback.
12
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:32.560
Now some of the best ones that I like are either having objects that help with
13
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:33.160
the visual
14
00:00:33.160 --> 00:00:36.780
spatial or relationships or having mirrors.
15
00:00:36.780 --> 00:00:41.010
So if I'm setting up on the, you know, even if I'm not hitting a golf ball, if
16
00:00:41.010 --> 00:00:42.000
I'm practicing
17
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:46.050
my setup and I have a mirror where I can see either down the line or I have a
18
00:00:46.050 --> 00:00:46.720
mirror where
19
00:00:46.720 --> 00:00:52.490
I can see kind of face-on, this will help my brain and my body kind of
20
00:00:52.490 --> 00:00:53.680
reconcile what
21
00:00:53.680 --> 00:00:57.040
it feels like I'm doing with what I'm actually doing.
22
00:00:57.040 --> 00:01:02.120
Unfortunately, what you feel like you're doing is of very little importance.
23
00:01:02.120 --> 00:01:05.830
It helps with performance that have clear feelings, but it's not critical for
24
00:01:05.830 --> 00:01:06.320
actually
25
00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:08.000
executing a golf shot.
26
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:12.840
What is important is that you are taking this club through the proper space and
27
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:13.280
using
28
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:15.240
your body in the proper way.
29
00:01:15.240 --> 00:01:18.280
So I recommend having mirrors.
30
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:22.400
If you don't have mirrors, you can use your cell phone camera, have video so
31
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:22.920
that you
32
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:25.760
can see what it is that you're doing.
33
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:29.990
I had a gentleman this morning where we were trying to work on this kind of
34
00:01:29.990 --> 00:01:30.720
flattened
35
00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:37.000
movement in the Zorro loops or the arms flattening in transition.
36
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.280
And when he felt like he did it a lot, it was about this much.
37
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:47.370
And so using a mirror and using video allowed him to feel this much movement or
38
00:01:47.370 --> 00:01:48.080
what we're
39
00:01:48.080 --> 00:01:49.760
actually trying to accomplish.
40
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.280
And then he had to get over how the heck can I hit a golf ball from there.
41
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.850
But the first step is just kind of putting in repetitions and feeling your body
42
00:01:57.850 --> 00:01:58.600
or sensing
43
00:01:58.600 --> 00:02:02.080
where your body is as it goes through these movements.
44
00:02:02.080 --> 00:02:05.240
So you can use sticks on the ground.
45
00:02:05.240 --> 00:02:10.410
If you're practicing say your swing path and you don't have access to hitting
46
00:02:10.410 --> 00:02:11.640
golf balls,
47
00:02:11.640 --> 00:02:17.560
you can always set up a quick little grid and you can just practice swinging.
48
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.760
Instead of standing up to not hit the sticks on the ground, I would recommend
49
00:02:20.760 --> 00:02:21.160
that you
50
00:02:21.160 --> 00:02:27.080
choke up, but taking swings to feel either, okay, that would be an out path.
51
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:29.100
That would be an out to end.
52
00:02:29.100 --> 00:02:32.080
What movements are actually helping create that?
53
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:36.320
You can use tape and put those on the ground so that way you can actually swing
54
00:02:36.320 --> 00:02:36.920
without
55
00:02:36.920 --> 00:02:39.960
having the sticks get in the way.
56
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:44.320
You can use all kinds of corners of the doors.
57
00:02:44.320 --> 00:02:46.200
You'll see me use chairs.
58
00:02:46.200 --> 00:02:50.620
Lots of things just to give you some clear spatial feedback so that when you're
59
00:02:50.620 --> 00:02:51.040
doing
60
00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:54.840
these at home practices, it's as beneficial as you could possibly have it.

00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:29.100
That would be an out to end.
52
00:02:29.100 --> 00:02:32.080
What movements are actually helping create that?
53
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:36.320
You can use tape and put those on the ground so that way you can actually swing
54
00:02:36.320 --> 00:02:36.920
without
55
00:02:36.920 --> 00:02:39.960
having the sticks get in the way.
56
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:44.320
You can use all kinds of corners of the doors.
57
00:02:44.320 --> 00:02:46.200
You'll see me use chairs.
58
00:02:46.200 --> 00:02:50.620
Lots of things just to give you some clear spatial feedback so that when you're
59
00:02:50.620 --> 00:02:51.040
doing
60
00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:54.840
these at home practices, it's as beneficial as you could possibly have it.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.880
In this concept video, we're going to go over the overview of practicing at
2
00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:05.440
home.
3
00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:11.490
Now, for most of us, getting to the driving range every single day is probably
4
00:00:11.490 --> 00:00:12.640
unrealistic.
5
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:16.690
So you'll notice that I provide a lot of ways that you can practice these key
6
00:00:16.690 --> 00:00:17.360
movements
7
00:00:17.360 --> 00:00:18.360
at home.
8
00:00:18.360 --> 00:00:21.520
Now if you're doing some of these drills and practicing at home, there are a
9
00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:22.040
few things
10
00:00:22.040 --> 00:00:24.120
that I want you to focus on.
11
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:28.480
One, you're going to need some sort of clear feedback.
12
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:32.560
Now some of the best ones that I like are either having objects that help with
13
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:33.160
the visual
14
00:00:33.160 --> 00:00:36.780
spatial or relationships or having mirrors.
15
00:00:36.780 --> 00:00:41.010
So if I'm setting up on the, you know, even if I'm not hitting a golf ball, if
16
00:00:41.010 --> 00:00:42.000
I'm practicing
17
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:46.050
my setup and I have a mirror where I can see either down the line or I have a
18
00:00:46.050 --> 00:00:46.720
mirror where
19
00:00:46.720 --> 00:00:52.490
I can see kind of face-on, this will help my brain and my body kind of
20
00:00:52.490 --> 00:00:53.680
reconcile what
21
00:00:53.680 --> 00:00:57.040
it feels like I'm doing with what I'm actually doing.
22
00:00:57.040 --> 00:01:02.120
Unfortunately, what you feel like you're doing is of very little importance.
23
00:01:02.120 --> 00:01:05.830
It helps with performance that have clear feelings, but it's not critical for
24
00:01:05.830 --> 00:01:06.320
actually
25
00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:08.000
executing a golf shot.
26
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:12.840
What is important is that you are taking this club through the proper space and
27
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:13.280
using
28
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:15.240
your body in the proper way.
29
00:01:15.240 --> 00:01:18.280
So I recommend having mirrors.
30
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:22.400
If you don't have mirrors, you can use your cell phone camera, have video so
31
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:22.920
that you
32
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:25.760
can see what it is that you're doing.
33
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:29.990
I had a gentleman this morning where we were trying to work on this kind of
34
00:01:29.990 --> 00:01:30.720
flattened
35
00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:37.000
movement in the Zorro loops or the arms flattening in transition.
36
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.280
And when he felt like he did it a lot, it was about this much.
37
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:47.370
And so using a mirror and using video allowed him to feel this much movement or
38
00:01:47.370 --> 00:01:48.080
what we're
39
00:01:48.080 --> 00:01:49.760
actually trying to accomplish.
40
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.280
And then he had to get over how the heck can I hit a golf ball from there.
41
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.850
But the first step is just kind of putting in repetitions and feeling your body
42
00:01:57.850 --> 00:01:58.600
or sensing
43
00:01:58.600 --> 00:02:02.080
where your body is as it goes through these movements.
44
00:02:02.080 --> 00:02:05.240
So you can use sticks on the ground.
45
00:02:05.240 --> 00:02:10.410
If you're practicing say your swing path and you don't have access to hitting
46
00:02:10.410 --> 00:02:11.640
golf balls,
47
00:02:11.640 --> 00:02:17.560
you can always set up a quick little grid and you can just practice swinging.
48
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.760
Instead of standing up to not hit the sticks on the ground, I would recommend
49
00:02:20.760 --> 00:02:21.160
that you
50
00:02:21.160 --> 00:02:27.080
choke up, but taking swings to feel either, okay, that would be an out path.
51
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:29.100
That would be an out to end.
52
00:02:29.100 --> 00:02:32.080
What movements are actually helping create that?
53
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:36.320
You can use tape and put those on the ground so that way you can actually swing
54
00:02:36.320 --> 00:02:36.920
without
55
00:02:36.920 --> 00:02:39.960
having the sticks get in the way.
56
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:44.320
You can use all kinds of corners of the doors.
57
00:02:44.320 --> 00:02:46.200
You'll see me use chairs.
58
00:02:46.200 --> 00:02:50.620
Lots of things just to give you some clear spatial feedback so that when you're
59
00:02:50.620 --> 00:02:51.040
doing
60
00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:54.840
these at home practices, it's as beneficial as you could possibly have it.
