00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.880
This video is solving the slide. So I know some golfers have taken many lessons

2
00:00:05.880 --> 00:00:10.380
and the thing that always shows up is they've got this sliding buckle where

3
00:00:10.380 --> 00:00:15.560
the knee gets to the outside the foot, the hip gets way outside and they kind

4
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:15.640
of

5
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:22.640
see you know this kind of diving down finish and they hate it. Most golfers who

6
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:26.760
I've worked with who have that pattern complain that's the number one thing

7
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:30.880
that they want to get away from. You see that I don't have a ton of videos on

8
00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:31.120
the

9
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:35.760
slide because I believe that the slide is a complement to a certain release

10
00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:41.440
style. So if you're going to fix your slide you've absolutely got to fix your

11
00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:46.200
release or you'll never get rid of the slide. The slide accompanies the flip or

12
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:54.120
the trail arm going more into a kind of bending or flexing pattern on the way

13
00:00:54.120 --> 00:01:00.200
through like this where you can see that if I do that if I do that movement

14
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:00.800
that's

15
00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:05.480
going to move the bottom of the swing more away from the golf ball like this

16
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:11.560
and it doesn't have a whole lot of shaft rotation so if I had shaft lean and

17
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:11.760
hit

18
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:16.800
it early the club face would be pointing to the right. So in order to give

19
00:01:16.800 --> 00:01:20.680
myself more time to close the club face or more space to close the club face

20
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:20.960
and

21
00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:27.560
to get the path going more out to the right what I'll do is I will slide my

22
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:31.720
body ahead which moves the bottom of the swing forward and moves the path more

23
00:01:31.720 --> 00:01:36.680
out to the right and gives me room to hopefully close the club face. We still

24
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:43.120
kind of see more of a chunk or picking pattern with these slide flippers but in

25
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:48.240
my experience you cannot fix the slide without fixing the release first because

26
00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:54.240
if let's say I've got a stick here and I've set it up in place so that I can

27
00:01:54.240 --> 00:01:59.360
make sure that my body stays more behind kind of like this. If I have that same

28
00:01:59.360 --> 00:02:05.760
release pattern then the ball goes way off to the right and you can see I'm

29
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:10.120
going to do my best to keep the same release. I'm giving myself a little bit

30
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:15.760
more wiggle room. I'm going to do my best to keep the same release and I'm

31
00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:16.160
going

32
00:02:16.160 --> 00:02:22.760
to slide forward and you see that I can get that to go straight. Now I wasn't

33
00:02:22.760 --> 00:02:31.000
able to do that with a whole lot of power so what I'll do next is I will move

34
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:37.600
this a little bit out of the way. I will slide forward get that scoop release

35
00:02:37.600 --> 00:02:41.760
and then really let that right side come through after the slide. Now I have a

36
00:02:41.760 --> 00:02:44.480
little knee issue foot issue so I'm going to turn my foot out to make that

37
00:02:44.480 --> 00:02:51.800
easier but I'm going to slide kind of jump and you'll see I can hit it fairly

38
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:57.200
solid I have pretty high ball flight comes up a little bit shorter. So now if

39
00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:02.840
I'm going to break that habit if I'm going to get myself out of this slide I'm

40
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:07.280
going to have to change the release pattern or else if I just stay centered

41
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:10.720
that club face is going to be open and I'm going to hit fat because the bottom

42
00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:14.840
swing is going to be behind and the club face hasn't rotated enough. So I need

43
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:14.920
to

44
00:03:14.920 --> 00:03:18.800
get more of the white movement or the arms more across my body or back out in

45
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:23.920
front of my chest and I need to get more of that kind of trail arm cover that

46
00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:29.920
palm strike or finger release feeling where I get the handle out in front and

47
00:03:29.920 --> 00:03:35.070
kind of deloft or cover. Now once I've got a good feeling of what to do with

48
00:03:35.070 --> 00:03:35.160
the

49
00:03:35.160 --> 00:03:43.520
release then I'm welcome to use a stick as a slide kind of feedback tool just

50
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:43.600
to

51
00:03:43.600 --> 00:03:46.840
give myself some spatial awareness and I'll show you two different ways that I

52
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.960
like to use it. One would be putting it just outside you don't want to put it

53
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:55.920
outside the heel you want to put it outside the edge of the midfoot so

54
00:03:55.920 --> 00:04:00.880
basically you're going to put it outside where the kind of the point of

55
00:04:00.880 --> 00:04:05.920
your picky toe sticks out. So if the difference would be if I have my foot

56
00:04:05.920 --> 00:04:10.600
turned out like this and I get my knee over the center of my foot I would still

57
00:04:10.600 --> 00:04:15.180
hit this stick if it was by my heel but if it's in line with my midfoot then I

58
00:04:15.180 --> 00:04:15.400
'm

59
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:18.960
not going to hit the stick so it serves as a better feedback. So I've got that

60
00:04:18.960 --> 00:04:19.600
in

61
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:25.680
line with that midfoot far enough behind me so that I would hit it with

62
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:30.840
this but not so far forward that I would hit it with my hands. Now in order

63
00:04:30.840 --> 00:04:36.160
to solve it I have to get more the white movement and those arms in front so

64
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:36.320
now

65
00:04:36.320 --> 00:04:40.920
I can stay behind and still get the bottom of the swing far enough out in

66
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:49.440
front. Kind of like that pulled it a little bit to make sure that I or because

67
00:04:49.440 --> 00:04:54.520
I was making sure that I stayed way behind the stick. So option number one was

68
00:04:54.520 --> 00:04:59.240
on the outside of the knee or outside of the foot option number two is on the

69
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:04.520
inside. This is similar to the adductor merry-go-round and basically what I'm

70
00:05:04.520 --> 00:05:09.440
going to do is I'm going to feel I'm going to do some nine to threes and I'm

71
00:05:09.440 --> 00:05:15.880
going to feel like this left leg is going to stay closer to that stick. It's

72
00:05:15.880 --> 00:05:20.200
not going to stay up against it so I'm not going to actually bring the thigh

73
00:05:20.200 --> 00:05:25.360
back. It's just to serve as a reference that I don't want to get my right leg

74
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:30.920
sliding way over there. So I'm going to and what you'll find is you have to do

75
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:35.440
shorter shots because at some point this will get in the way and prevent me

76
00:05:35.440 --> 00:05:35.440
from

77
00:05:35.440 --> 00:05:39.040
getting to a full finish. So we're going to do a little bit more of a nine to

78
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:45.000
three feeling and I'm going to feel here I will we'll kind of exaggerate one I

79
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:45.120
'll

80
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:52.480
get a little bit of tension. So kind of staying more in contact and you'll see

81
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:57.520
towards the end of that nine to three my thigh did come up against it so it's

82
00:05:57.520 --> 00:06:03.440
more for just kind of feeling that initial transition move or all the way

83
00:06:03.440 --> 00:06:07.840
through until the end of kind of the arm extension but then once the body

84
00:06:07.840 --> 00:06:11.240
rotates through it's a little bit limiting. So you can play around with

85
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:15.440
doing shorter shots with it on the inside which I really like or longer

86
00:06:15.440 --> 00:06:19.080
shots where you have the stick on the outside just to give you a little bit

87
00:06:19.080 --> 00:06:24.040
more spatial awareness. But remember that the way that you're really going to

88
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:29.200
solve your flip is by getting more of that white or sorry the way you're going

89
00:06:29.200 --> 00:06:34.680
to fix your slide is by getting more of that white movement with the arms

90
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:37.720
through the release.
