00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.040
This analysis video is scrubbing for details so scrubbing for details is a
2
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:07.880
method that I use when analyzing videos and trying to
3
00:00:07.880 --> 00:00:11.720
Figure out some of the details of different movements. So
4
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:14.560
frequently when golfers
5
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:17.920
Come to me and we'll do a 3d and I can get the details there
6
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:21.850
But to show them on video or to show them so that they understand I'll
7
00:00:21.850 --> 00:00:23.200
frequently use video
8
00:00:23.200 --> 00:00:28.200
Now scrubbing for details is kind of like a DJ move where you pick a
9
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:32.120
What you think is around the beginning of a move and around the end of the move
10
00:00:32.120 --> 00:00:36.200
And you just slowly scrub back and forth between the two
11
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:41.440
So what we'll see on the right with John Sandin is there's there's some lower
12
00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:43.960
body rotation going on here in his power phase
13
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:47.600
But you'll see that his arms are pulling off his body
14
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:51.560
relatively quickly if we compare that to
15
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:57.220
And Adam Scott we can see during that same phase most of the movement is
16
00:00:57.220 --> 00:00:57.940
happening
17
00:00:58.440 --> 00:01:01.400
For him between his rib cage and his knees
18
00:01:01.400 --> 00:01:07.880
If we do the same thing again with John Sandin you can see a whole lower body
19
00:01:07.880 --> 00:01:13.000
activity and you can see an arms or upper body activity zone
20
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:18.480
So scrubbing for details can give you kind of some of these big pictures as to
21
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:19.000
where
22
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.720
golfers are organizing the movements and when they are organizing the movements
23
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:28.070
There are a couple key times that I like to use this scrubbing for details
24
00:01:28.070 --> 00:01:30.920
technique one is during transition
25
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:33.760
Two would be during the release
26
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:37.690
And from different views and largely from the face-on view because it'll help
27
00:01:37.690 --> 00:01:39.800
you see bracing strategies really well
28
00:01:39.800 --> 00:01:43.480
And then third would be the end of the backswing
29
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:50.080
So you can kind of see what they're doing to load and get ready for or initiate
30
00:01:50.080 --> 00:01:51.280
the downswing
31
00:01:51.880 --> 00:01:55.640
For the face-on view, I like to look at transition and during the release
32
00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:01.870
So during the transition we can see if we scrub basically from the top of the
33
00:02:01.870 --> 00:02:02.880
backswing until
34
00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:05.480
Right around hip height
35
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:10.300
Kind of scrubbing back and forth between those two frames and we can compare
36
00:02:10.300 --> 00:02:11.440
the difference
37
00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:14.280
or the similarities and
38
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:16.820
What's initiating here so you can see how much
39
00:02:16.820 --> 00:02:19.560
lateral movement how much rotation
40
00:02:19.640 --> 00:02:24.020
How much arm pull timing of the right arm lots of good little keys just by
41
00:02:24.020 --> 00:02:25.480
doing these little scrubs
42
00:02:25.480 --> 00:02:31.760
Now one of the interesting ones to look at is the overall direction of the arm
43
00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:32.520
extension piece
44
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:35.400
So if I scrub kind of through the release
45
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.240
You'll see that it looks like
46
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:44.040
His arms are basically extending kind of out in that general direction
47
00:02:44.040 --> 00:02:49.640
But you can get a sense of how they're extending out in front of the golf ball
48
00:02:49.640 --> 00:02:53.120
Now if we scrub through those same parts here with an iron
49
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:57.760
You'll see that as it reaches this part
50
00:02:57.760 --> 00:03:02.860
Close to follow through position. You'll see that they're actually starting to
51
00:03:02.860 --> 00:03:04.160
kind of rehinge and absorb
52
00:03:04.160 --> 00:03:09.280
So you'll see that a lot of his outward movement is really scrubbing through
53
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:14.590
More on a line kind of like this where over here it was more like that. So he
54
00:03:14.590 --> 00:03:15.880
just gives some of the general
55
00:03:15.880 --> 00:03:21.340
Timings and directions and control centers for some of these movements. The
56
00:03:21.340 --> 00:03:23.320
other thing that you'll see is through this release
57
00:03:23.320 --> 00:03:25.320
you'll see a lot more of
58
00:03:25.320 --> 00:03:31.290
An arm dominant swing you won't see nearly as much lower body action as if you
59
00:03:31.290 --> 00:03:32.640
scrub through
60
00:03:32.640 --> 00:03:38.510
With these movements or sorry with the driver, you'll see a lot more hip action
61
00:03:38.510 --> 00:03:39.520
through the ball
62
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:44.360
So I use this scrubbing technique frequently when analyzing videos
63
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:48.110
I think it's very helpful to see where you're creating power how you're
64
00:03:48.110 --> 00:03:49.360
controlling the path
65
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:53.720
And some of the key timings for the movements that make up either your back
66
00:03:53.720 --> 00:03:56.120
swing your transition or your release
67
00:03:56.120 --> 00:04:00.740
While scrubbing is great for getting the details of the the difference between
68
00:04:00.740 --> 00:04:01.680
tour pro swings
69
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:05.480
It's also great for getting the big picture of amateur swings
70
00:04:05.600 --> 00:04:09.940
So as I scrub back and forth, you can clearly see that there's some intensity
71
00:04:09.940 --> 00:04:12.320
to this transition move and it's largely this
72
00:04:12.320 --> 00:04:16.360
aggressive chop move more from the upper body
73
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:21.270
So he's not really throwing with his arms, but he's doing a big old lunge and
74
00:04:21.270 --> 00:04:24.240
crunch with that upper body in order to pull on the handle
75
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:30.350
Then during the release you can see some of the timings of the arm extension to
76
00:04:30.350 --> 00:04:31.120
help square the face
77
00:04:31.640 --> 00:04:36.640
And delayed body rotation to help control the low point
78
00:04:36.640 --> 00:04:39.360
If we look over here on the left
79
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.520
You'll see this is much more
80
00:04:42.520 --> 00:04:47.400
There's a subtle little weight shift to get it going, but then you'll see a
81
00:04:47.400 --> 00:04:51.480
fairly early movement of those arms and clubs
82
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:58.260
So it's very much a cast pattern where the arms are really controlling the
83
00:04:58.260 --> 00:05:01.360
speed generation part of this transition
84
00:05:01.640 --> 00:05:05.120
So if you're having a hard time figuring out what's going on in your swing
85
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:09.580
Try this scrubbing technique to see where the movement's beginning where the
86
00:05:09.580 --> 00:05:13.720
movement's ending and what the dominant kind of movements are within that phase
87
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:17.310
And that should help you unlock some of the keys into how you're controlling
88
00:05:17.310 --> 00:05:18.120
your golf swing
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.040
This analysis video is scrubbing for details so scrubbing for details is a

00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:14.560
frequently when golfers
5
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:17.920
Come to me and we'll do a 3d and I can get the details there
6
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:21.850

7
00:00:21.850 --> 00:00:23.200

84
00:05:01.640 --> 00:05:05.120
So if you're having a hard time figuring out what's going on in your swing
85
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:09.580
Try this scrubbing technique to see where the movement's beginning where the
86
00:05:09.580 --> 00:05:13.720
movement's ending and what the dominant kind of movements are within that phase
87
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:17.310
And that should help you unlock some of the keys into how you're controlling
88
00:05:17.310 --> 00:05:18.120
your golf swing

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.040
This analysis video is scrubbing for details so scrubbing for details is a
2
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:07.880
method that I use when analyzing videos and trying to
3
00:00:07.880 --> 00:00:11.720
Figure out some of the details of different movements. So
4
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:14.560
frequently when golfers
5
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:17.920
Come to me and we'll do a 3d and I can get the details there
6
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:21.850
But to show them on video or to show them so that they understand I'll
7
00:00:21.850 --> 00:00:23.200
frequently use video
8
00:00:23.200 --> 00:00:28.200
Now scrubbing for details is kind of like a DJ move where you pick a
9
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:32.120
What you think is around the beginning of a move and around the end of the move
10
00:00:32.120 --> 00:00:36.200
And you just slowly scrub back and forth between the two
11
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:41.440
So what we'll see on the right with John Sandin is there's there's some lower
12
00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:43.960
body rotation going on here in his power phase
13
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:47.600
But you'll see that his arms are pulling off his body
14
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:51.560
relatively quickly if we compare that to
15
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:57.220
And Adam Scott we can see during that same phase most of the movement is
16
00:00:57.220 --> 00:00:57.940
happening
17
00:00:58.440 --> 00:01:01.400
For him between his rib cage and his knees
18
00:01:01.400 --> 00:01:07.880
If we do the same thing again with John Sandin you can see a whole lower body
19
00:01:07.880 --> 00:01:13.000
activity and you can see an arms or upper body activity zone
20
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:18.480
So scrubbing for details can give you kind of some of these big pictures as to
21
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:19.000
where
22
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.720
golfers are organizing the movements and when they are organizing the movements
23
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:28.070
There are a couple key times that I like to use this scrubbing for details
24
00:01:28.070 --> 00:01:30.920
technique one is during transition
25
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:33.760
Two would be during the release
26
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:37.690
And from different views and largely from the face-on view because it'll help
27
00:01:37.690 --> 00:01:39.800
you see bracing strategies really well
28
00:01:39.800 --> 00:01:43.480
And then third would be the end of the backswing
29
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:50.080
So you can kind of see what they're doing to load and get ready for or initiate
30
00:01:50.080 --> 00:01:51.280
the downswing
31
00:01:51.880 --> 00:01:55.640
For the face-on view, I like to look at transition and during the release
32
00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:01.870
So during the transition we can see if we scrub basically from the top of the
33
00:02:01.870 --> 00:02:02.880
backswing until
34
00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:05.480
Right around hip height
35
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:10.300
Kind of scrubbing back and forth between those two frames and we can compare
36
00:02:10.300 --> 00:02:11.440
the difference
37
00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:14.280
or the similarities and
38
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:16.820
What's initiating here so you can see how much
39
00:02:16.820 --> 00:02:19.560
lateral movement how much rotation
40
00:02:19.640 --> 00:02:24.020
How much arm pull timing of the right arm lots of good little keys just by
41
00:02:24.020 --> 00:02:25.480
doing these little scrubs
42
00:02:25.480 --> 00:02:31.760
Now one of the interesting ones to look at is the overall direction of the arm
43
00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:32.520
extension piece
44
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:35.400
So if I scrub kind of through the release
45
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.240
You'll see that it looks like
46
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:44.040
His arms are basically extending kind of out in that general direction
47
00:02:44.040 --> 00:02:49.640
But you can get a sense of how they're extending out in front of the golf ball
48
00:02:49.640 --> 00:02:53.120
Now if we scrub through those same parts here with an iron
49
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:57.760
You'll see that as it reaches this part
50
00:02:57.760 --> 00:03:02.860
Close to follow through position. You'll see that they're actually starting to
51
00:03:02.860 --> 00:03:04.160
kind of rehinge and absorb
52
00:03:04.160 --> 00:03:09.280
So you'll see that a lot of his outward movement is really scrubbing through
53
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:14.590
More on a line kind of like this where over here it was more like that. So he
54
00:03:14.590 --> 00:03:15.880
just gives some of the general
55
00:03:15.880 --> 00:03:21.340
Timings and directions and control centers for some of these movements. The
56
00:03:21.340 --> 00:03:23.320
other thing that you'll see is through this release
57
00:03:23.320 --> 00:03:25.320
you'll see a lot more of
58
00:03:25.320 --> 00:03:31.290
An arm dominant swing you won't see nearly as much lower body action as if you
59
00:03:31.290 --> 00:03:32.640
scrub through
60
00:03:32.640 --> 00:03:38.510
With these movements or sorry with the driver, you'll see a lot more hip action
61
00:03:38.510 --> 00:03:39.520
through the ball
62
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:44.360
So I use this scrubbing technique frequently when analyzing videos
63
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:48.110
I think it's very helpful to see where you're creating power how you're
64
00:03:48.110 --> 00:03:49.360
controlling the path
65
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:53.720
And some of the key timings for the movements that make up either your back
66
00:03:53.720 --> 00:03:56.120
swing your transition or your release
67
00:03:56.120 --> 00:04:00.740
While scrubbing is great for getting the details of the the difference between
68
00:04:00.740 --> 00:04:01.680
tour pro swings
69
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:05.480
It's also great for getting the big picture of amateur swings
70
00:04:05.600 --> 00:04:09.940
So as I scrub back and forth, you can clearly see that there's some intensity
71
00:04:09.940 --> 00:04:12.320
to this transition move and it's largely this
72
00:04:12.320 --> 00:04:16.360
aggressive chop move more from the upper body
73
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:21.270
So he's not really throwing with his arms, but he's doing a big old lunge and
74
00:04:21.270 --> 00:04:24.240
crunch with that upper body in order to pull on the handle
75
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:30.350
Then during the release you can see some of the timings of the arm extension to
76
00:04:30.350 --> 00:04:31.120
help square the face
77
00:04:31.640 --> 00:04:36.640
And delayed body rotation to help control the low point
78
00:04:36.640 --> 00:04:39.360
If we look over here on the left
79
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.520
You'll see this is much more
80
00:04:42.520 --> 00:04:47.400
There's a subtle little weight shift to get it going, but then you'll see a
81
00:04:47.400 --> 00:04:51.480
fairly early movement of those arms and clubs
82
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:58.260
So it's very much a cast pattern where the arms are really controlling the
83
00:04:58.260 --> 00:05:01.360
speed generation part of this transition
84
00:05:01.640 --> 00:05:05.120
So if you're having a hard time figuring out what's going on in your swing
85
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:09.580
Try this scrubbing technique to see where the movement's beginning where the
86
00:05:09.580 --> 00:05:13.720
movement's ending and what the dominant kind of movements are within that phase
87
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:17.310
And that should help you unlock some of the keys into how you're controlling
88
00:05:17.310 --> 00:05:18.120
your golf swing
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.040

So you can kind of see what they're doing to load and get ready for or initiate
30
00:01:50.080 --> 00:01:51.280
the downswing

78
00:04:36.640 --> 00:04:39.360
If we look over here on the left
79
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.520
You'll see this is much more
80
00:04:42.520 --> 00:04:47.400
There's a subtle little weight shift to get it going, but then you'll see a
81
00:04:47.400 --> 00:04:51.480
fairly early movement of those arms and clubs
82
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:58.260
So it's very much a cast pattern where the arms are really controlling the
83
00:04:58.260 --> 00:05:01.360
speed generation part of this transition
84
00:05:01.640 --> 00:05:05.120
So if you're having a hard time figuring out what's going on in your swing
85
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:09.580
Try this scrubbing technique to see where the movement's beginning where the
86
00:05:09.580 --> 00:05:13.720
movement's ending and what the dominant kind of movements are within that phase
87
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:17.310
And that should help you unlock some of the keys into how you're controlling
88
00:05:17.310 --> 00:05:18.120
your golf swing
