00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.480
In this concept video, we're going to go over troubleshooting the follow-
2
00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:05.640
through position.
3
00:00:05.640 --> 00:00:10.730
So if you remember the follow-through position is this waist height or this
4
00:00:10.730 --> 00:00:11.800
last parallel
5
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:15.420
in the follow-through, and there's a variety of things that we like to look for
6
00:00:15.420 --> 00:00:16.120
, but there's
7
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.400
some common things that we tend to not see.
8
00:00:19.400 --> 00:00:24.510
First one would be if you remember that we're trying to continue this side bend
9
00:00:24.510 --> 00:00:25.240
and kind
10
00:00:25.240 --> 00:00:29.240
of stay back behind the ball with this right shoulder continuing to go down,
11
00:00:29.240 --> 00:00:29.840
what we'll
12
00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:34.250
tend to happen is this shoulder will come more up, the hips will go more back
13
00:00:34.250 --> 00:00:35.680
like so.
14
00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:40.880
This is often a hip related issue, and you can easily take some of the pressure
15
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:41.360
off of
16
00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:46.060
your hip and make it less demanding if you review the foot flare and how much
17
00:00:46.060 --> 00:00:46.660
you have
18
00:00:46.660 --> 00:00:50.870
that left foot turn towards the target because that will make it so that you
19
00:00:50.870 --> 00:00:51.640
don't have to
20
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:56.520
kind of go to end range of motion and be strong in that position.
21
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:03.970
The next one that I tend to see would be the hands being too high or going up
22
00:01:03.970 --> 00:01:05.920
like so
23
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:09.440
as opposed to working a little bit more around you on that functional swing
24
00:01:09.440 --> 00:01:10.000
plane.
25
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.100
So if I draw that impact line and it looks like your club is going way inside
26
00:01:14.100 --> 00:01:15.080
out, there's
27
00:01:15.080 --> 00:01:18.420
a good chance you're hitting blocks, you're hitting big hooks, and what that
28
00:01:18.420 --> 00:01:18.920
one comes
29
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:25.320
from is a little bit more of the body standing straight up like so.
30
00:01:25.320 --> 00:01:30.930
So this posture gets very vertical and then when I side bend, I've now added a
31
00:01:30.930 --> 00:01:31.320
couple
32
00:01:31.320 --> 00:01:35.700
shallows and so that gets the club swinging way out around me as opposed to a
33
00:01:35.700 --> 00:01:36.240
little
34
00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:38.720
bit more down the target line.
35
00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:42.600
The opposite to that would be the hands going too low.
36
00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:48.800
So the hands going more down around and across like so.
37
00:01:48.800 --> 00:01:53.280
Now if you naturally swing way up high, it'll feel good to go low and vice
38
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:54.040
versa, if you
39
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:57.000
swing low, it'll feel pretty good to go high.
40
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:01.440
But if you're overdoing one of them too much, then it can cause problems.
41
00:02:01.440 --> 00:02:07.050
If you're overdoing the hands coming too low, it's usually a result of the
42
00:02:07.050 --> 00:02:07.680
hands kind of
43
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:12.180
flipping around and releasing more like this as opposed to releasing out or it
44
00:02:12.180 --> 00:02:12.720
could be
45
00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:19.120
that that right shoulder has gotten very high on top of the golf ball like so.
46
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:23.410
That's a little bit more of the rare one, but it tends to happen with this last
47
00:02:23.410 --> 00:02:24.080
piece,
48
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.710
which is one of the biggest ones that I see, which is the elbows not closing or
49
00:02:27.710 --> 00:02:28.400
not getting
50
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:29.400
closer.
51
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:34.240
If you remember from impact to follow through, those elbows should kind of be
52
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:35.320
squeezing together
53
00:02:35.320 --> 00:02:38.880
or getting closer during that period.
54
00:02:38.880 --> 00:02:42.610
Some tour pros get anywhere down around seven inches between the center of
55
00:02:42.610 --> 00:02:43.440
their elbows,
56
00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:45.540
which is not very much at all.
57
00:02:45.540 --> 00:02:49.620
Many amateurs, those elbows are going wider and they'll be a foot, a foot and a
58
00:02:49.620 --> 00:02:49.960
half
59
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:54.700
apart like so.
60
00:02:54.700 --> 00:02:59.180
That one is usually a result of either a transition air, not having the club
61
00:02:59.180 --> 00:03:00.220
come from the proper
62
00:03:00.220 --> 00:03:07.220
path or release air, not having the club square the club face with the arms
63
00:03:07.220 --> 00:03:07.940
kind of
64
00:03:07.940 --> 00:03:09.740
extending away from you.
65
00:03:09.740 --> 00:03:13.850
So pulling it across actually gets the face pointed in the direction of the
66
00:03:13.850 --> 00:03:14.660
target, but
67
00:03:14.660 --> 00:03:18.960
makes you susceptible to hitting it weak, low compression and tending to hit it
68
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:19.480
a little
69
00:03:19.480 --> 00:03:21.740
bit more of a flare off to the right.
70
00:03:21.740 --> 00:03:26.430
So those are the major issues that we see with the follow through position,
71
00:03:26.430 --> 00:03:27.380
that position
72
00:03:27.380 --> 00:03:36.520
right there, either going high, going low, getting narrow, getting forward, any
73
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:37.480
of those
74
00:03:37.480 --> 00:03:43.090
problems will cause you a little bit more of contact issues, but it's really a
75
00:03:43.090 --> 00:03:43.720
symptom
76
00:03:43.720 --> 00:03:46.740
of some of the other things that should have already happened.
77
00:03:46.740 --> 00:03:50.820
So I'll usually direct you in the direction of not just focusing on that, but
78
00:03:50.820 --> 00:03:51.500
also looking
79
00:03:51.500 --> 00:03:53.260
at either the release or transition.

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.480
In this concept video, we're going to go over troubleshooting the follow-
2
00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:05.640
through position.
3
00:00:05.640 --> 00:00:10.730
So if you remember the follow-through position is this waist height or this
4
00:00:10.730 --> 00:00:11.800
last parallel
5
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:15.420
in the follow-through, and there's a variety of things that we like to look for
6
00:00:15.420 --> 00:00:16.120
, but there's
7
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.400
some common things that we tend to not see.
8
00:00:19.400 --> 00:00:24.510
First one would be if you remember that we're trying to continue this side bend
9
00:00:24.510 --> 00:00:25.240
and kind
10
00:00:25.240 --> 00:00:29.240
of stay back behind the ball with this right shoulder continuing to go down,
11
00:00:29.240 --> 00:00:29.840
what we'll
12
00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:34.250
tend to happen is this shoulder will come more up, the hips will go more back
13
00:00:34.250 --> 00:00:35.680
like so.
14
00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:40.880
This is often a hip related issue, and you can easily take some of the pressure
15
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:41.360
off of
16
00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:46.060
your hip and make it less demanding if you review the foot flare and how much
17
00:00:46.060 --> 00:00:46.660
you have
18
00:00:46.660 --> 00:00:50.870
that left foot turn towards the target because that will make it so that you
19
00:00:50.870 --> 00:00:51.640
don't have to
20
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:56.520
kind of go to end range of motion and be strong in that position.
21
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:03.970
The next one that I tend to see would be the hands being too high or going up
22
00:01:03.970 --> 00:01:05.920
like so
23
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:09.440
as opposed to working a little bit more around you on that functional swing
24
00:01:09.440 --> 00:01:10.000
plane.
25
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.100
So if I draw that impact line and it looks like your club is going way inside
26
00:01:14.100 --> 00:01:15.080
out, there's
27
00:01:15.080 --> 00:01:18.420
a good chance you're hitting blocks, you're hitting big hooks, and what that
28
00:01:18.420 --> 00:01:18.920
one comes
29
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:25.320
from is a little bit more of the body standing straight up like so.
30
00:01:25.320 --> 00:01:30.930
So this posture gets very vertical and then when I side bend, I've now added a
31
00:01:30.930 --> 00:01:31.320
couple
32
00:01:31.320 --> 00:01:35.700
shallows and so that gets the club swinging way out around me as opposed to a
33
00:01:35.700 --> 00:01:36.240
little
34
00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:38.720
bit more down the target line.
35
00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:42.600
The opposite to that would be the hands going too low.
36
00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:48.800
So the hands going more down around and across like so.
37
00:01:48.800 --> 00:01:53.280
Now if you naturally swing way up high, it'll feel good to go low and vice
38
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:54.040
versa, if you
39
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:57.000
swing low, it'll feel pretty good to go high.
40
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:01.440
But if you're overdoing one of them too much, then it can cause problems.
41
00:02:01.440 --> 00:02:07.050
If you're overdoing the hands coming too low, it's usually a result of the
42
00:02:07.050 --> 00:02:07.680
hands kind of
43
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:12.180
flipping around and releasing more like this as opposed to releasing out or it
44
00:02:12.180 --> 00:02:12.720
could be
45
00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:19.120
that that right shoulder has gotten very high on top of the golf ball like so.
46
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:23.410
That's a little bit more of the rare one, but it tends to happen with this last
47
00:02:23.410 --> 00:02:24.080
piece,
48
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.710
which is one of the biggest ones that I see, which is the elbows not closing or
49
00:02:27.710 --> 00:02:28.400
not getting
50
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:29.400
closer.
51
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:34.240
If you remember from impact to follow through, those elbows should kind of be
52
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:35.320
squeezing together
53
00:02:35.320 --> 00:02:38.880
or getting closer during that period.
54
00:02:38.880 --> 00:02:42.610
Some tour pros get anywhere down around seven inches between the center of
55
00:02:42.610 --> 00:02:43.440
their elbows,
56
00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:45.540
which is not very much at all.
57
00:02:45.540 --> 00:02:49.620
Many amateurs, those elbows are going wider and they'll be a foot, a foot and a
58
00:02:49.620 --> 00:02:49.960
half
59
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:54.700
apart like so.
60
00:02:54.700 --> 00:02:59.180
That one is usually a result of either a transition air, not having the club
61
00:02:59.180 --> 00:03:00.220
come from the proper
62
00:03:00.220 --> 00:03:07.220
path or release air, not having the club square the club face with the arms
63
00:03:07.220 --> 00:03:07.940
kind of
64
00:03:07.940 --> 00:03:09.740
extending away from you.
65
00:03:09.740 --> 00:03:13.850
So pulling it across actually gets the face pointed in the direction of the
66
00:03:13.850 --> 00:03:14.660
target, but
67
00:03:14.660 --> 00:03:18.960
makes you susceptible to hitting it weak, low compression and tending to hit it
68
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:19.480
a little
69
00:03:19.480 --> 00:03:21.740
bit more of a flare off to the right.
70
00:03:21.740 --> 00:03:26.430
So those are the major issues that we see with the follow through position,
71
00:03:26.430 --> 00:03:27.380
that position
72
00:03:27.380 --> 00:03:36.520
right there, either going high, going low, getting narrow, getting forward, any
73
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:37.480
of those
74
00:03:37.480 --> 00:03:43.090
problems will cause you a little bit more of contact issues, but it's really a
75
00:03:43.090 --> 00:03:43.720
symptom
76
00:03:43.720 --> 00:03:46.740
of some of the other things that should have already happened.
77
00:03:46.740 --> 00:03:50.820
So I'll usually direct you in the direction of not just focusing on that, but
78
00:03:50.820 --> 00:03:51.500
also looking
79
00:03:51.500 --> 00:03:53.260
at either the release or transition.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.480
In this concept video, we're going to go over troubleshooting the follow-
2
00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:05.640
through position.
3
00:00:05.640 --> 00:00:10.730
So if you remember the follow-through position is this waist height or this
4
00:00:10.730 --> 00:00:11.800
last parallel
5
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:15.420
in the follow-through, and there's a variety of things that we like to look for
6
00:00:15.420 --> 00:00:16.120
, but there's
7
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.400
some common things that we tend to not see.
8
00:00:19.400 --> 00:00:24.510
First one would be if you remember that we're trying to continue this side bend
9
00:00:24.510 --> 00:00:25.240
and kind
10
00:00:25.240 --> 00:00:29.240
of stay back behind the ball with this right shoulder continuing to go down,
11
00:00:29.240 --> 00:00:29.840
what we'll
12
00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:34.250
tend to happen is this shoulder will come more up, the hips will go more back
13
00:00:34.250 --> 00:00:35.680
like so.
14
00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:40.880
This is often a hip related issue, and you can easily take some of the pressure
15
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:41.360
off of
16
00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:46.060
your hip and make it less demanding if you review the foot flare and how much
17
00:00:46.060 --> 00:00:46.660
you have
18
00:00:46.660 --> 00:00:50.870
that left foot turn towards the target because that will make it so that you
19
00:00:50.870 --> 00:00:51.640
don't have to
20
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:56.520
kind of go to end range of motion and be strong in that position.
21
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:03.970
The next one that I tend to see would be the hands being too high or going up
22
00:01:03.970 --> 00:01:05.920
like so
23
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:09.440
as opposed to working a little bit more around you on that functional swing
24
00:01:09.440 --> 00:01:10.000
plane.
25
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.100
So if I draw that impact line and it looks like your club is going way inside
26
00:01:14.100 --> 00:01:15.080
out, there's
27
00:01:15.080 --> 00:01:18.420
a good chance you're hitting blocks, you're hitting big hooks, and what that
28
00:01:18.420 --> 00:01:18.920

30
00:01:25.320 --> 00:01:30.930
So this posture gets very vertical and then when I side bend, I've now added a
31
00:01:30.930 --> 00:01:31.320

shallows and so that gets the club swinging way out around me as opposed to a
33
00:01:35.700 --> 00:01:36.240
little
34
00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:38.720
bit more down the target line.
35
00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:42.600
The opposite to that would be the hands going too low.
36
00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:48.800

40
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:01.440
But if you're overdoing one of them too much, then it can cause problems.
