00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.480
This concept video, we're going to discuss quick versus slow in transition.

2
00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:14.870
So I had a member question come in about should the transition, he has a couple

3
00:00:14.870 --> 00:00:15.480
different

4
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:20.090
swings, should the transition feel slow or should the transition feel more kind

5
00:00:20.090 --> 00:00:20.800
of punchy

6
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:21.800
or quick?

7
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:25.800
Or the way he actually described it was should it feel like one movement where

8
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:26.520
everything

9
00:00:26.520 --> 00:00:30.480
kind of goes at the ball or should it feel like two movements?

10
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:35.620
Now I'm always cautious when I answer what should this feel like because in my

11
00:00:35.620 --> 00:00:35.640
years

12
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:39.950
of coaching I've experienced golfers describing feels that I would have never

13
00:00:39.950 --> 00:00:40.780
imagined.

14
00:00:40.780 --> 00:00:46.810
So my normal response is my goal is to use the drill to get you to do it and

15
00:00:46.810 --> 00:00:47.600
then you

16
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:50.400
pay attention and tell me what it feels like.

17
00:00:50.400 --> 00:00:56.680
In this area of quick versus slow or one versus two I have noticed some trends.

18
00:00:56.680 --> 00:01:01.790
So in general it can be either so I'm going to give you which way I think it

19
00:01:01.790 --> 00:01:02.320
will apply

20
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:04.200
to you and your swing.

21
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:09.320
If you tend to be more lower body dominant, if you tend to have more early

22
00:01:09.320 --> 00:01:09.560
extension from

23
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:15.400
the leg drive or if you tend to have more slide from the knee and ankle drive

24
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:16.040
then in

25
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:21.200
general I think it will feel quicker and more like one movement because what

26
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:21.800
usually happens

27
00:01:21.800 --> 00:01:25.340
is when you go with your lower body the arms weight and then they have to feel

28
00:01:25.340 --> 00:01:25.880
like they

29
00:01:25.880 --> 00:01:31.460
kind of snap down to the bottom where if you do a better job maintaining your

30
00:01:31.460 --> 00:01:32.280
posture and

31
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:37.450
using your abs and your core then you're going to tend to feel that all this is

32
00:01:37.450 --> 00:01:38.680
more connected

33
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:43.840
and that connectedness tends to make things feel like they are happening

34
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:44.680
earlier because

35
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:50.000
the arms don't really have to wait for this excessive lower body movement.

36
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:56.120
The opposite is if you have more of a cast, more of a kind of a lunge or a big

37
00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:56.840
spin of

38
00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:00.030
the upper body so if you tend to have more of a shoulder dominant or upper body

39
00:02:00.030 --> 00:02:00.560
dominant

40
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:05.720
swing then you're most likely going to feel it's much slower when you do it

41
00:02:05.720 --> 00:02:06.200
correctly.

42
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.620
So if you get to the top of the swing and you tend to really pull with that

43
00:02:09.620 --> 00:02:10.240
shoulder or

44
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:14.530
you tend to throw it with the arms or you tend to kind of lunge and pull

45
00:02:14.530 --> 00:02:15.440
forward like

46
00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:19.470
that then what will end up happening is there's this new movement of kind of

47
00:02:19.470 --> 00:02:20.240
bumping and you

48
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:24.310
have to wait until the arms get down to somewhere around here before they end

49
00:02:24.310 --> 00:02:25.040
up before they

50
00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:31.240
actually fire and so that now starts to feel like it's a more rhythmic or a one

51
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:31.840
two kind

52
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:38.260
of like a step than go compared to what you're used to doing which is going

53
00:02:38.260 --> 00:02:39.560
hard right away

54
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:41.160
from the top of the swing.

55
00:02:41.160 --> 00:02:44.550
So I have noticed this trend it's more upper body dominant you're going to tend

56
00:02:44.550 --> 00:02:44.960
to feel

57
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:51.370
slow or smooth or one two in transition but if you're more of an early extender

58
00:02:51.370 --> 00:02:52.080
slider

59
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:58.480
then you're going to tend to feel more of a unified one just fire straight from

60
00:02:58.480 --> 00:02:59.080
the top

61
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:00.080
of the swing.

62
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:03.830
So if you're looking at video and you're exploring with some tempo feels

63
00:03:03.830 --> 00:03:04.840
hopefully this gives

64
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.720
you a little direction as far as which you should try.

65
00:03:07.720 --> 00:03:12.120
My philosophy is you can try both or you can try a tempo related drill and then

66
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:12.520
you can

67
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:18.120
describe feel free to comment below does your swing feel quick and two part or

68
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:18.960
does it feel

69
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:24.810
fast and one part I've seen it go both ways when golfers make improvements from

70
00:03:24.810 --> 00:03:25.480
some type

71
00:03:25.480 --> 00:03:29.240
of inconsistent pattern to a little bit closer to the stock tour swing.

72
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:32.960
So we'll try to do one good swing I'll tell you I can't tell you which one it's

73
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:33.280
going

74
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:40.120
to feel like but hopefully it's a good one just like that.
