00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.480
In this insight video, I'm going to stress the importance of training your golf

2
00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:04.800
swing

3
00:00:04.800 --> 00:00:06.980
versus trying to think it.

4
00:00:06.980 --> 00:00:12.410
So I do this this three hour clinic called the consistency clinic where

5
00:00:12.410 --> 00:00:14.340
basically I throw

6
00:00:14.340 --> 00:00:18.850
a lot of information at these poor unsuspecting golfers and we start off with

7
00:00:18.850 --> 00:00:20.220
20 minutes talking

8
00:00:20.220 --> 00:00:25.640
about contact, ball flight, and then essentially what we're trying to do with

9
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:26.480
impact.

10
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:30.440
So what positions we're trying to get to how we're going to get there.

11
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.840
It's on a very high level though.

12
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:36.680
After this little introduction, we always go out to the range and I give them

13
00:00:36.680 --> 00:00:37.420
about 15

14
00:00:37.420 --> 00:00:42.040
minutes to get warmed up and to just process the information that I gave them.

15
00:00:42.040 --> 00:00:47.040
And I have yet to have anyone make significant improvement from just hearing

16
00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:48.400
that introduction

17
00:00:48.400 --> 00:00:51.980
of, okay, here's how you're going to interpret contact, here's how you're going

18
00:00:51.980 --> 00:00:52.680
to interpret

19
00:00:52.680 --> 00:00:56.080
ball flight, here's how I want you to get into impact.

20
00:00:56.080 --> 00:01:02.100
Just by hearing what to do, they go out there and I can tell you, I've never

21
00:01:02.100 --> 00:01:02.960
had someone

22
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:06.920
have significant improvement just from that 20 minute part.

23
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:11.110
What then happens is we come back in and we go over all these drills to help

24
00:01:11.110 --> 00:01:11.760
break down

25
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.880
the key movements so that they can then start training them.

26
00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:19.250
And as they put in repetitions throughout the clinic, their swings tend to get

27
00:01:19.250 --> 00:01:19.720
better

28
00:01:19.720 --> 00:01:25.320
and better and then they start to be able to use that information appropriately

29
00:01:25.320 --> 00:01:25.600
.

30
00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:30.990
And also with my students, I tend to find any time a golfer comes in and they

31
00:01:30.990 --> 00:01:32.280
're struggling

32
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:35.460
with a specific movement, my first question is always going to be, well, how

33
00:01:35.460 --> 00:01:36.040
have you been

34
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:37.040
training it?

35
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:40.040
And they'll tell me, well, I've been thinking about doing this.

36
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:44.880
And I've said, okay, show me what drills you've been doing to try to break it

37
00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:45.440
down.

38
00:01:45.440 --> 00:01:48.570
And they'll give me that deer in the headlights look like, well, no, I've just

39
00:01:48.570 --> 00:01:49.120
been trying

40
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:50.720
to think it.

41
00:01:50.720 --> 00:01:56.610
And I can't stress enough that even if you understand it, just trying to think

42
00:01:56.610 --> 00:01:57.200
your way

43
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.760
through a golf swing is never going to work.

44
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:00.880
You have to train it.

45
00:02:00.880 --> 00:02:04.640
You have to do the whole Mr. Miyagi to Daniel something.

46
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:10.120
You know, if this whole wax on wax off thing is a very simple movement, right?

47
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:13.370
If I told you, hey, all you're going to do, I'm going to throw a punch and you

48
00:02:13.370 --> 00:02:13.880
're just

49
00:02:13.880 --> 00:02:17.120
going to go like this and it's going to block it, right?

50
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:18.120
Sure.

51
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:19.120
Sign me up for a fight.

52
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:20.120
I know what to do.

53
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:21.720
I'm ready for it.

54
00:02:21.720 --> 00:02:22.720
Probably not.

55
00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:23.720
I'm going to get my butt kicked.

56
00:02:23.720 --> 00:02:25.160
But Mr. Miyagi was smart.

57
00:02:25.160 --> 00:02:29.750
He had Daniel's son do 10,000 repetitions of each of the key movements that he

58
00:02:29.750 --> 00:02:30.320
was trying

59
00:02:30.320 --> 00:02:34.890
to train so that when he was able to just say the movement, he could recall it

60
00:02:34.890 --> 00:02:35.360
very,

61
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:36.920
very effectively.

62
00:02:36.920 --> 00:02:40.210
That's the purpose of my isolation drills and the drills that you'll see in the

63
00:02:40.210 --> 00:02:40.760
different

64
00:02:40.760 --> 00:02:45.410
sections of the setup and the release and the backswing and the transition and

65
00:02:45.410 --> 00:02:45.640
all the

66
00:02:45.640 --> 00:02:50.940
key pieces, I've broken them down so that you can train each piece to then put

67
00:02:50.940 --> 00:02:51.400
it back

68
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:55.760
in together, which I've found works really well for performance.

69
00:02:55.760 --> 00:02:59.360
But if you're just going to watch the videos and try to think your way through

70
00:02:59.360 --> 00:02:59.920
it, I can

71
00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:04.390
guarantee you it's going to make you more confused and probably have you

72
00:03:04.390 --> 00:03:05.200
performing

73
00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:06.200
worse.

74
00:03:06.200 --> 00:03:07.960
So watch the drills.

75
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:12.990
And then when you have questions, either submit your swing via the submission

76
00:03:12.990 --> 00:03:13.520
or fill

77
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:17.280
out the decoder, let us know what's going on so that we can help guide you as

78
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:17.800
to where

79
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:22.000
you might be missing out on that last key little ingredient.
