00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.600
This video is transition is as fast as the blink of an eye so we throw around

2
00:00:04.600 --> 00:00:07.980
terms like the golf swing happens really quickly you don't have much time to

3
00:00:07.980 --> 00:00:12.360
think about it but sometimes it can help be helpful to actually visualize how

4
00:00:12.360 --> 00:00:16.100
little time you have to actually think about what you're doing while you're

5
00:00:16.100 --> 00:00:20.320
trying to do it. So in this video we're going to compare my golf swing and how

6
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:24.720
long it takes and compare that to the blink of an eye. Now let's take an actual

7
00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:29.380
look at the timing of these two events. So here on the left we've got my golf

8
00:00:29.380 --> 00:00:32.960
swing and then over on the right filmed with the exact same camera at the same

9
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:38.720
settings. We've got me blinking and then looking to make sure that I caught the

10
00:00:38.720 --> 00:00:44.880
blink. With the blink I'm going to try to get it just to the frame right where

11
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:45.040
my

12
00:00:45.040 --> 00:00:49.320
eyelid starts to move right around there and then with the swing we'll take it

13
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:49.360
up

14
00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:55.240
until the club head starts to change direction. Now I've got them synced and

15
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:59.420
what we'll do is we will play them both together. I'm going to watch the blink

16
00:00:59.420 --> 00:01:08.050
of the eye and right about there is the end of the blink of the eye. So what

17
00:01:08.050 --> 00:01:08.300
you'll

18
00:01:08.300 --> 00:01:12.980
see is that the transition in my golf swing took about the same amount of time

19
00:01:12.980 --> 00:01:16.860
as the blink of an eye. You can see on the left I met about delivery position.

20
00:01:16.860 --> 00:01:20.460
It'll vary a little bit depending on the length of your swing. You can see it's

21
00:01:20.460 --> 00:01:24.220
roughly about the same timing. If you're trying to run through a major

22
00:01:24.220 --> 00:01:24.460
checklist

23
00:01:24.460 --> 00:01:28.230
it's not going to happen because you're not going to have enough time to

24
00:01:28.230 --> 00:01:28.720
process

25
00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:32.720
all that information. You need to take any swing thoughts or things that you're

26
00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:37.400
working on and either train it or put in the rep so that it becomes a single

27
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:43.280
feeling. So while you're in this transition, while you're in this transition

28
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:46.800
section and you're looking at the different pieces, whether it be the the

29
00:01:46.800 --> 00:01:50.920
weight shift or the bump or whether it's a kind of the sequencing and delaying

30
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:54.980
rotation, whether it's the arm shallowing, how you pull on the club, there's

31
00:01:54.980 --> 00:01:55.300
lots of

32
00:01:55.300 --> 00:02:00.770
things that you can get into as far as the initiation of the downswing. Now it

33
00:02:00.770 --> 00:02:01.180
's

34
00:02:01.180 --> 00:02:05.910
important to keep this concept video in mind when you're training these. So as

35
00:02:05.910 --> 00:02:05.980
a

36
00:02:05.980 --> 00:02:10.000
little experiment I want you to blink your eye. You can exaggerate it, you know

37
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:10.020
,

38
00:02:10.020 --> 00:02:13.580
blink and I want you to think about how many of those swing thoughts you could

39
00:02:13.580 --> 00:02:17.620
actually think about during that time. So it's important to have some part of

40
00:02:17.620 --> 00:02:23.460
your practice as more of a transition into a feeling or a sensation or an

41
00:02:23.460 --> 00:02:29.560
image. So I might not be able to say to myself bump into left hip,

42
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:34.840
shout out the arms, start the motorcycle all while I'm blinking my eye. But I

43
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:39.920
could probably get a feeling, yeah, okay, it's gonna feel kind of like that.

44
00:02:39.920 --> 00:02:40.360
And as

45
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:45.160
long as that feeling can pull through my body or course through my body in less

46
00:02:45.160 --> 00:02:50.010
than the time it takes for me to blink my eye I could actually focus on that.

47
00:02:50.010 --> 00:02:50.500
So

48
00:02:50.500 --> 00:02:56.920
make sure that your focus is something so tangible that you can experience it

49
00:02:56.920 --> 00:03:00.200
within the timeframe of a blink of an eye, whether it's with the transition or

50
00:03:00.200 --> 00:03:04.040
with the release, because both of those happen very quickly. So if you find

51
00:03:04.040 --> 00:03:04.200
that

52
00:03:04.200 --> 00:03:07.820
you're a little lost in transition, that's where it can helpful to do slow

53
00:03:07.820 --> 00:03:12.910
motion or pump or drills that give you a little bit more time to experience

54
00:03:12.910 --> 00:03:13.180
some

55
00:03:13.180 --> 00:03:16.960
of these key movements and relationships. I promise that if you put in the time

56
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:21.320
and build those movements into a feeling, it'll be that much easier for you to

57
00:03:21.320 --> 00:03:24.960
transfer it into your stock full swing.
