00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.140
In this concept video, we're going to look at the steep and shallow flow chart.

2
00:00:05.140 --> 00:00:09.120
So in the steep and shallow flow chart, I basically show you the different

3
00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:09.560
movements

4
00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:12.400
and how they contribute to the path of the club.

5
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:16.780
So you'll see that there are every movement that I do is going to create a

6
00:00:16.780 --> 00:00:17.520
little bit

7
00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:22.610
of speed, it's going to adjust the face, but one of the big factors is it's

8
00:00:22.610 --> 00:00:23.640
going to adjust

9
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:25.160
the path of the club.

10
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:28.740
If I was to do all these movements that cause shallow, so the major movements

11
00:00:28.740 --> 00:00:29.240
that are going

12
00:00:29.240 --> 00:00:36.000
to cause shallow are going to be side bending to the right, extending my spine

13
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:37.200
or extending

14
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:41.280
my hips or just extending, and rotating to the right.

15
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:47.680
So if I do those three movements during the downswing, so if I side bend to the

16
00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:48.240
right

17
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:51.800
and extend and rotate to the right, this is what would happen.

18
00:00:51.800 --> 00:00:54.920
I would end up looking kind of like so.

19
00:00:54.920 --> 00:01:00.730
Now if we looked at the arm movements, if my arm is going to be getting further

20
00:01:00.730 --> 00:01:01.180
away

21
00:01:01.180 --> 00:01:08.220
from me, if my arms are going to be lifting, so my wrist straightening, all

22
00:01:08.220 --> 00:01:09.560
these factors

23
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:13.530
are going to get the club further away from me, which makes the bottom of the

24
00:01:13.530 --> 00:01:14.200
club a little

25
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:15.520
bit more shallow.

26
00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:20.240
So now if I add those, I go up to the top of the swing and then I side bend to

27
00:01:20.240 --> 00:01:21.000
the right,

28
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:25.620
I extend and I rotate to the right and then I extend my arms, you could see

29
00:01:25.620 --> 00:01:26.360
that this

30
00:01:26.360 --> 00:01:32.760
would probably be about as in-out as I could swing, considering I am facing a

31
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:33.600
golf ball

32
00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:39.730
like so and I use only shallow movements, it would kind of look something like

33
00:01:39.730 --> 00:01:40.440
that.

34
00:01:40.440 --> 00:01:45.210
And I would be so shallow and so far back behind the golf ball, the path would

35
00:01:45.210 --> 00:01:45.600
be so

36
00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:49.200
far in-out that I have no chance of actually hitting the golf ball.

37
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.340
So I am going to have to add at least a couple of steeps.

38
00:01:52.340 --> 00:01:55.800
Now if we look at the opposite, if I was to make the steep movements, so the

39
00:01:55.800 --> 00:01:56.520
steep movements

40
00:01:56.520 --> 00:02:01.670
for a Rey Hinnigolfer are going to be bending to the left, they are going to be

41
00:02:01.670 --> 00:02:02.440
rotating

42
00:02:02.440 --> 00:02:06.680
to the left and they are going to be flexing forward like so.

43
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:11.570
So now if I set up to the golf ball and I was to make those movements, so this

44
00:02:11.570 --> 00:02:12.000
will

45
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:16.580
be a little tough to do from the top of the swing, but if I was to flex forward

46
00:02:16.580 --> 00:02:17.080
, if I

47
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:21.540
was to side bend to the left and then I was to rotate like so, you could see

48
00:02:21.540 --> 00:02:22.240
that that

49
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.980
would cause a club that would come down very, very steep in the ground and wait

50
00:02:25.980 --> 00:02:26.560
in front

51
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:27.920
of the golf ball.

52
00:02:27.920 --> 00:02:33.930
Now if I was to then add the arm movements that cause steepening or basically

53
00:02:33.930 --> 00:02:34.640
bending

54
00:02:34.640 --> 00:02:39.730
the arm in, keeping that left wrist flat, keeping that right wrist cupped and

55
00:02:39.730 --> 00:02:40.360
chopping

56
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:44.760
down with my shoulders, so working more down like, there we go, that is

57
00:02:44.760 --> 00:02:46.000
probably as steep

58
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:47.920
an arm movement as I can do.

59
00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:52.680
So now if I was to do all those movements, so I am going to side bend to the

60
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:53.800
left, rotate

61
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:59.000
to the left, flex forward, you can see that is pretty much as steep as I could

62
00:02:59.000 --> 00:02:59.760
possibly

63
00:02:59.760 --> 00:03:00.920
do.

64
00:03:00.920 --> 00:03:06.980
So now these are obviously too crazy extremes, because if I am trying to hit

65
00:03:06.980 --> 00:03:08.120
that golf ball

66
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:11.730
there, I am obviously not going to have the bottom of my swing coming like so

67
00:03:11.730 --> 00:03:12.200
and I am

68
00:03:12.200 --> 00:03:15.250
not going to have the bottom of my swing coming like so, but it is interesting

69
00:03:15.250 --> 00:03:15.760
to note that

70
00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:20.860
I can make a swing where comfortably I had the club working almost

71
00:03:20.860 --> 00:03:22.400
perpendicular to the

72
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:26.080
target line this way or perpendicular to the target line that way.

73
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:30.680
To find my ideal path, I am going to blend these movements.

74
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:35.770
So what is frequently going to happen is during transition I am going to side

75
00:03:35.770 --> 00:03:36.560
bend slightly

76
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:43.280
to the right like so, I am going to slightly flex forward and I am going to

77
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:44.880
start rotating

78
00:03:44.880 --> 00:03:45.880
to the left.

79
00:03:45.880 --> 00:03:48.680
So that is causing a little bit of a steep movement of my body.

80
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:52.420
If I was to just from here extend those arms, boom, we will make contact with

81
00:03:52.420 --> 00:03:52.960
the ground

82
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:53.960
like so.

83
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:57.600
But at the same time, my arms are going to work in more of a shallow move.

84
00:03:57.600 --> 00:04:02.690
So they are going to flatten like so and get in a little bit narrower, kind of

85
00:04:02.690 --> 00:04:04.360
like that.

86
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:09.780
Then during the release I am going to side bend to the right, I am going to

87
00:04:09.780 --> 00:04:10.800
extend a little

88
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:15.120
bit and I am going to continue rotating to the left.

89
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:18.800
So that is adding a little bit of shallow.

90
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:24.680
In addition, I am going to extend those arms while not fully extending those

91
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:25.800
wrists until

92
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.720
just before impact, you know, kind of somewhere in there.

93
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:33.350
So that is adding shallow, steep, basically all these combination of movements

94
00:04:33.350 --> 00:04:33.960
are going

95
00:04:33.960 --> 00:04:37.560
to blend to give me ultimately what I want.

96
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:44.360
With the driver, erring more towards shallowness is typically going to help.

97
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:48.920
With the wedges, erring more towards steepness is typically going to help.

98
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:53.690
But ultimately you have to work on balancing both of them to give you the right

99
00:04:53.690 --> 00:04:54.280
path for

100
00:04:54.280 --> 00:04:55.280
the shot that you are trying to hit.
