00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.860
This video is the steep and shallow flow chart, the shallow version.

2
00:00:04.860 --> 00:00:09.760
So we're going to go through the downswing and look at the path of the club.

3
00:00:09.760 --> 00:00:14.140
Now in the steep and shallow flow chart or the steep and shallow overview video

4
00:00:14.140 --> 00:00:14.620
, I show

5
00:00:14.620 --> 00:00:18.970
you that the major movements that are going to cause shallow are going to be

6
00:00:18.970 --> 00:00:19.980
right rotation

7
00:00:19.980 --> 00:00:25.910
of the arms, so kind of going like that, lifting the arms so the arms working

8
00:00:25.910 --> 00:00:26.680
more this way

9
00:00:26.680 --> 00:00:33.670
to end the shallow route, right side bend and extension and also right rotation

10
00:00:33.670 --> 00:00:34.840
or having,

11
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:38.640
because it's a downswing movement, less left rotation.

12
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:43.400
So the big ones are going to be right side bend and extension and right

13
00:00:43.400 --> 00:00:44.320
rotation of the

14
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:46.160
arms kind of like that.

15
00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:50.400
So now we're going to break the downswing into three distinct phases.

16
00:00:50.400 --> 00:00:53.980
The middle phase is kind of this little blend between the transition and the

17
00:00:53.980 --> 00:00:54.360
release.

18
00:00:54.360 --> 00:00:57.940
But we're going to look at the transition, we're going to look at blending

19
00:00:57.940 --> 00:00:58.320
transition

20
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:02.080
into release and then we're going to look at the release because you may get

21
00:01:02.080 --> 00:01:02.600
shallow

22
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:05.200
in three different phases.

23
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:12.000
So the top of the swing, if we get shallow in the transition phase, it's almost

24
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:12.360
always

25
00:01:12.360 --> 00:01:18.290
going to be a power source issue, at least part of the program will have to

26
00:01:18.290 --> 00:01:19.280
resolve around

27
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:20.920
how you're creating speed.

28
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:24.740
So the common one would basically be from the top of the swing, if I go into

29
00:01:24.740 --> 00:01:25.400
right side

30
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:30.160
bend and I'm kind of doing a back extension to pull this club down, it's early

31
00:01:30.160 --> 00:01:30.560
extension

32
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:35.490
pattern and it'll look like that right off the bat and this club will tend to,

33
00:01:35.490 --> 00:01:36.040
tend to

34
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:37.400
drop inside.

35
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:42.060
But often what golfers will do is even if I'm going like that, they will use a

36
00:01:42.060 --> 00:01:42.160
steep

37
00:01:42.160 --> 00:01:46.920
arm movement to kind of balance it out so it's not too steep or too shallow

38
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:47.360
there.

39
00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:52.120
But the most common one would be that right side bend too soon as opposed to

40
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:52.880
regaining

41
00:01:52.880 --> 00:01:58.210
your flexion first and kind of waiting before going into that right side bend

42
00:01:58.210 --> 00:01:58.880
until during

43
00:01:58.880 --> 00:02:00.640
the release.

44
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:05.020
The second phase would be blending that transition into the release and there's

45
00:02:05.020 --> 00:02:06.040
a couple different

46
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:08.760
common patterns that start to get off there.

47
00:02:08.760 --> 00:02:13.520
If I haven't started the motorcycle and the club face is coming in an open

48
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:14.520
position, I'll

49
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:19.380
often start that early extension pattern so that I'm going to be able to pull

50
00:02:19.380 --> 00:02:20.720
back away

51
00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:24.960
to get that club face to slam shut down at the bottom.

52
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:29.620
So it's usually if I'm getting shallow during this transition or during this

53
00:02:29.620 --> 00:02:30.280
blend between

54
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:35.800
transition and release, I'm looking at the club face first and foremost.

55
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:40.560
Then the last section would be looking at the release and just like the steep

56
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:40.880
version,

57
00:02:40.880 --> 00:02:44.540
the release is going to tend to be how I'm organizing the club face which is

58
00:02:44.540 --> 00:02:44.960
going to

59
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:47.120
look a lot at what the arms are doing.

60
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:53.050
Now in this case, it's typically using the body to get the club face to line up

61
00:02:53.050 --> 00:02:53.720
so that

62
00:02:53.720 --> 00:02:56.240
I can get the club face to close.

63
00:02:56.240 --> 00:03:01.960
It would be very rare for the arms to just want to kind of stay shallow and

64
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:03.040
underneath

65
00:03:03.040 --> 00:03:07.080
because a lot of the movements that are going to shallow the club way down

66
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:08.040
there will also

67
00:03:08.040 --> 00:03:13.320
tend to open the club face so you would tend to struggle with way big blocks

68
00:03:13.320 --> 00:03:15.280
and push fades.

69
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:20.810
So if everything looks pretty good here but then I start to get into a shallow

70
00:03:20.810 --> 00:03:21.640
movement

71
00:03:21.640 --> 00:03:26.970
there, it's typically going to be that right side bend lift and it's typically

72
00:03:26.970 --> 00:03:27.360
going to

73
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:32.120
be the one that I actually forgot in the intro video or the intro of this video

74
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:32.520
which would

75
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:36.720
be the extension of the arms tends to shallow things out.

76
00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:42.050
So if I'm getting here and then I extend those arms, that will tend to give

77
00:03:42.050 --> 00:03:42.600
that look

78
00:03:42.600 --> 00:03:48.010
of the shallow which will also because the arms are extending too soon will

79
00:03:48.010 --> 00:03:49.040
tend to stall

80
00:03:49.040 --> 00:03:51.000
my body from rotating.

81
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:55.290
So instead of getting into this position and continued rotation and letting

82
00:03:55.290 --> 00:03:56.400
those arms extend

83
00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:00.410
a little bit later, if I get into a pretty good delivery position and then

84
00:04:00.410 --> 00:04:01.120
those arms

85
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:05.680
just go straight from there, it will tend to cause my body to stall.

86
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:09.370
So again, down in the release we're looking more at the club face and how the

87
00:04:09.370 --> 00:04:09.880
arms are

88
00:04:09.880 --> 00:04:12.240
contributing to the overly shallow pattern.

89
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:16.570
In transition we're looking more at the power sources and then in the middle we

90
00:04:16.570 --> 00:04:17.320
're looking

91
00:04:17.320 --> 00:04:21.040
at kind of a blend, it could be either path, it could be face.

92
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:25.800
So if you're unsure, if you have a shallow pattern where you're hitting more of

93
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:25.880
kind

94
00:04:25.880 --> 00:04:30.640
of picky contact, maybe even thin shots and shanks, if you're having more of

95
00:04:30.640 --> 00:04:31.120
the block

96
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:36.200
hook combo, you want to identify why and when you are starting to get shallow.

97
00:04:36.200 --> 00:04:40.020
If you have a hard time figuring it out, you're welcome to submit a video and

98
00:04:40.020 --> 00:04:40.640
we can help

99
00:04:40.640 --> 00:04:44.360
guide you as to when you're getting shallow and what are some proper drills

100
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:45.000
that might

101
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:46.480
have a good chance of helping you fix it.
