00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.640
This concept video is the three main causes of face control issues.
2
00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:14.400
So one question I often ask students is, do you have a two-way miss or do you
3
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:15.000
have one
4
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:16.000
big miss?
5
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:21.490
If you typically have a one big miss, then your clubface tends to be a little
6
00:00:21.490 --> 00:00:22.000
bit more
7
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:27.190
stable, but you probably have a pivot issue that is causing you to have some
8
00:00:27.190 --> 00:00:28.240
timing issues
9
00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:30.380
or a single direction issue.
10
00:00:30.380 --> 00:00:34.290
If on the other hand you have a two-way miss, you tend to have more of a kind
11
00:00:34.290 --> 00:00:35.000
of clubface
12
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:39.960
changing down at the bottom, then there's kind of three big buckets that I like
13
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:40.440
to look
14
00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:41.840
at.
15
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:44.640
You can have clubface issues down at the bottom of the swing because of the
16
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:45.340
wrists and the
17
00:00:45.340 --> 00:00:46.340
forearms.
18
00:00:46.340 --> 00:00:50.220
You can have clubface issues because of the shoulders, and you can have club
19
00:00:50.220 --> 00:00:50.960
face issues
20
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:55.480
because of the body.
21
00:00:55.480 --> 00:00:59.880
The easiest thing to do is to look at the swing at the bottom of the swing and
22
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:00.360
try to
23
00:01:00.360 --> 00:01:09.300
see of the elements, is it just the clubface kind of passing here where, anyway
24
00:01:09.300 --> 00:01:10.480
, or what
25
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:15.670
I should say is the main solution to clubface control issues and two-way miss
26
00:01:15.670 --> 00:01:16.080
issues is
27
00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:19.860
creating more lag and shaft lean, kind of more of this clubface stability that
28
00:01:19.860 --> 00:01:20.160
I've
29
00:01:20.160 --> 00:01:21.560
talked about before.
30
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:28.760
So that you'll either struggle to get the hands ahead and delay the turning
31
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:29.640
over the
32
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:35.530
clubface, you'll either struggle with that because the wrists are really active
33
00:01:35.530 --> 00:01:35.960
down
34
00:01:35.960 --> 00:01:40.770
at the bottom, sometimes even like letting go of the club, but kind of rotating
35
00:01:40.770 --> 00:01:41.400
backward
36
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:42.680
like this.
37
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:47.880
That will more frequently cause the big left miss, but it can then cause you to
38
00:01:47.880 --> 00:01:48.360
make some
39
00:01:48.360 --> 00:01:52.290
body movements that will give you the big right miss and the two-way miss, or a
40
00:01:52.290 --> 00:01:52.920
shoulder
41
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:58.960
issue where either the left arm is pulling and kind of bending like this or the
42
00:01:58.960 --> 00:01:59.520
right
43
00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:05.010
arm is more throwing, the shoulder kind of going out there, and the arms kind
44
00:02:05.010 --> 00:02:05.680
of going
45
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:06.680
around like this.
46
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:11.870
Again, that will usually cause the clubface to want to spin over, and so a
47
00:02:11.870 --> 00:02:13.040
common solution
48
00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:18.230
that is then you try to kind of like slide and block it ahead, and then you get
49
00:02:18.230 --> 00:02:18.560
your
50
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:20.840
big right miss.
51
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:24.760
So we've got the wrists, we can look at is it just the handle?
52
00:02:24.760 --> 00:02:30.780
We've got the shoulders, is it the handle as well as the arms, like looking at
53
00:02:30.780 --> 00:02:31.600
the spacing
54
00:02:31.600 --> 00:02:35.240
and the armpits can help you identify shoulder issues?
55
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:41.560
And then the pivot, the two things that tend to cause more of this two-way miss
56
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:42.280
would be
57
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:48.000
either early extension or excessive axis tilt.
58
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:52.240
Both of those will tend to cause a little bit of stalling where your body has
59
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:52.760
run out
60
00:02:52.760 --> 00:02:58.860
of range of motion, and so it has a difficult time continuing the rib cage
61
00:02:58.860 --> 00:03:00.720
moving through,
62
00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:04.920
and so as a result the arms lengthen and pass over very quickly.
63
00:03:04.920 --> 00:03:10.110
So I could have what appears to kind of be stable wrist, but then if I go into
64
00:03:10.110 --> 00:03:10.520
more of
65
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:14.980
an early extension in slide, it becomes very hard to time exactly where the
66
00:03:14.980 --> 00:03:15.800
clubface is
67
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:16.800
going.
68
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:19.140
So if you have a two-way miss, you want to look at is it coming from the wrist,
69
00:03:19.140 --> 00:03:19.440
is it
70
00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:22.200
coming from the shoulders, or is it coming from the pivot?
71
00:03:22.200 --> 00:03:26.270
If you have one big miss, then you probably want to look at is it primarily a
72
00:03:26.270 --> 00:03:27.340
pivot issue,
73
00:03:27.340 --> 00:03:32.530
like am I having more of a forward lunge, am I having more of a slide, am I
74
00:03:32.530 --> 00:03:33.360
having more
75
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.080
of a hold off any of those key components?
76
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:40.860
So you're struggling with clubface control, you're not alone, that's a common
77
00:03:40.860 --> 00:03:41.400
one, and
78
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:44.940
you want to figure out is it a two-way miss or a big miss that will help you
79
00:03:44.940 --> 00:03:45.520
figure out
80
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:48.350
what to look at on your video, which will ultimately drive, which drills will
81
00:03:48.350 --> 00:03:49.680
help you
82
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:52.760
dial in your swing and build more consistency.
83
00:03:52.760 --> 00:04:02.040
So any type of release drills, especially nine to threes, can help you dial in
84
00:04:02.040 --> 00:04:02.640
any of
85
00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:06.030
those issues, if you do it pretty well, and then you break down when you're
86
00:04:06.030 --> 00:04:06.600
doing more
87
00:04:06.600 --> 00:04:10.320
of a full swing, then you'd want to look at transition and making sure that you
88
00:04:10.320 --> 00:04:10.920
're not
89
00:04:10.920 --> 00:04:13.400
getting into a problematic position there.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.640
This concept video is the three main causes of face control issues.
2
00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:14.400

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:15.000

5

If you typically have a one big miss, then your clubface tends to be a little

00:00:21.490 --> 00:00:22.000

forearms.
18
00:00:46.340 --> 00:00:50.220
You can have clubface issues because of the shoulders, and you can have club
19
00:00:50.220 --> 00:00:50.960
face issues
20
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:55.480

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.640
This concept video is the three main causes of face control issues.
2
00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:14.400
So one question I often ask students is, do you have a two-way miss or do you
3
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:15.000
have one
4
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:16.000
big miss?
5
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:21.490
If you typically have a one big miss, then your clubface tends to be a little
6
00:00:21.490 --> 00:00:22.000
bit more
7
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:27.190
stable, but you probably have a pivot issue that is causing you to have some
8
00:00:27.190 --> 00:00:28.240
timing issues
9
00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:30.380
or a single direction issue.
10
00:00:30.380 --> 00:00:34.290
If on the other hand you have a two-way miss, you tend to have more of a kind
11
00:00:34.290 --> 00:00:35.000
of clubface
12
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:39.960
changing down at the bottom, then there's kind of three big buckets that I like
13
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:40.440
to look
14
00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:41.840
at.
15
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:44.640
You can have clubface issues down at the bottom of the swing because of the
16
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:45.340
wrists and the
17
00:00:45.340 --> 00:00:46.340
forearms.
18
00:00:46.340 --> 00:00:50.220
You can have clubface issues because of the shoulders, and you can have club
19
00:00:50.220 --> 00:00:50.960
face issues
20
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:55.480
because of the body.
21
00:00:55.480 --> 00:00:59.880
The easiest thing to do is to look at the swing at the bottom of the swing and
22
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:00.360
try to
23
00:01:00.360 --> 00:01:09.300
see of the elements, is it just the clubface kind of passing here where, anyway
24
00:01:09.300 --> 00:01:10.480
, or what
25
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:15.670
I should say is the main solution to clubface control issues and two-way miss
26
00:01:15.670 --> 00:01:16.080
issues is
27
00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:19.860
creating more lag and shaft lean, kind of more of this clubface stability that
28
00:01:19.860 --> 00:01:20.160
I've
29
00:01:20.160 --> 00:01:21.560
talked about before.
30
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:28.760
So that you'll either struggle to get the hands ahead and delay the turning
31
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:29.640
over the
32
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:35.530
clubface, you'll either struggle with that because the wrists are really active
33
00:01:35.530 --> 00:01:35.960
down
34
00:01:35.960 --> 00:01:40.770
at the bottom, sometimes even like letting go of the club, but kind of rotating
35
00:01:40.770 --> 00:01:41.400
backward
36
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:42.680
like this.
37
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:47.880
That will more frequently cause the big left miss, but it can then cause you to
38
00:01:47.880 --> 00:01:48.360
make some
39
00:01:48.360 --> 00:01:52.290
body movements that will give you the big right miss and the two-way miss, or a
40
00:01:52.290 --> 00:01:52.920
shoulder
41
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:58.960
issue where either the left arm is pulling and kind of bending like this or the
42
00:01:58.960 --> 00:01:59.520
right
43
00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:05.010
arm is more throwing, the shoulder kind of going out there, and the arms kind
44
00:02:05.010 --> 00:02:05.680
of going
45
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:06.680
around like this.
46
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:11.870
Again, that will usually cause the clubface to want to spin over, and so a
47
00:02:11.870 --> 00:02:13.040
common solution
48
00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:18.230
that is then you try to kind of like slide and block it ahead, and then you get
49
00:02:18.230 --> 00:02:18.560
your
50
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:20.840
big right miss.
51
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:24.760
So we've got the wrists, we can look at is it just the handle?
52
00:02:24.760 --> 00:02:30.780
We've got the shoulders, is it the handle as well as the arms, like looking at
53
00:02:30.780 --> 00:02:31.600
the spacing
54
00:02:31.600 --> 00:02:35.240
and the armpits can help you identify shoulder issues?
55
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:41.560
And then the pivot, the two things that tend to cause more of this two-way miss
56
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:42.280
would be
57
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:48.000
either early extension or excessive axis tilt.
58
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:52.240
Both of those will tend to cause a little bit of stalling where your body has
59
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:52.760
run out
60
00:02:52.760 --> 00:02:58.860
of range of motion, and so it has a difficult time continuing the rib cage
61
00:02:58.860 --> 00:03:00.720
moving through,
62
00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:04.920
and so as a result the arms lengthen and pass over very quickly.
63
00:03:04.920 --> 00:03:10.110
So I could have what appears to kind of be stable wrist, but then if I go into
64
00:03:10.110 --> 00:03:10.520
more of
65
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:14.980
an early extension in slide, it becomes very hard to time exactly where the
66
00:03:14.980 --> 00:03:15.800
clubface is
67
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:16.800
going.
68
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:19.140
So if you have a two-way miss, you want to look at is it coming from the wrist,
69
00:03:19.140 --> 00:03:19.440
is it
70
00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:22.200
coming from the shoulders, or is it coming from the pivot?
71
00:03:22.200 --> 00:03:26.270
If you have one big miss, then you probably want to look at is it primarily a
72
00:03:26.270 --> 00:03:27.340
pivot issue,
73
00:03:27.340 --> 00:03:32.530
like am I having more of a forward lunge, am I having more of a slide, am I
74
00:03:32.530 --> 00:03:33.360
having more
75
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.080
of a hold off any of those key components?
76
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:40.860
So you're struggling with clubface control, you're not alone, that's a common
77
00:03:40.860 --> 00:03:41.400
one, and
78
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:44.940
you want to figure out is it a two-way miss or a big miss that will help you
79
00:03:44.940 --> 00:03:45.520
figure out
80
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:48.350
what to look at on your video, which will ultimately drive, which drills will
81
00:03:48.350 --> 00:03:49.680
help you
82
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:52.760
dial in your swing and build more consistency.
83
00:03:52.760 --> 00:04:02.040
So any type of release drills, especially nine to threes, can help you dial in
84
00:04:02.040 --> 00:04:02.640
any of
85
00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:06.030
those issues, if you do it pretty well, and then you break down when you're
86
00:04:06.030 --> 00:04:06.600
doing more
87
00:04:06.600 --> 00:04:10.320
of a full swing, then you'd want to look at transition and making sure that you
88
00:04:10.320 --> 00:04:10.920
're not
89
00:04:10.920 --> 00:04:13.400
getting into a problematic position there.

If you typically have a one big miss, then your clubface tends to be a little

00:00:21.490 --> 00:00:22.000

You can have clubface issues because of the shoulders, and you can have club
19
00:00:50.220 --> 00:00:50.960
face issues
20
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:55.480
