00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.600
This concept video is troubleshooting impact now there's again impact is just a

2
00:00:06.600 --> 00:00:11.240
blur within a movement so there's a lot of factors going in but there are some

3
00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:14.840
common things that we can look at. There are roughly five common errors that I

4
00:00:14.840 --> 00:00:22.520
see with a improper inefficient impact position. One would be instead of having

5
00:00:22.520 --> 00:00:27.000
that weight left you're going to have your weight more centered so if I drew

6
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:30.260
that line straight up from your hip it's not going to touch your pelvis your

7
00:00:30.260 --> 00:00:33.600
pelvis is going to be more in the middle of your body. Now the more that the

8
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:36.760
pelvis is in the middle of the body the more that it's going to have the

9
00:00:36.760 --> 00:00:37.320
tendency

10
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:42.920
to move the ball or move the low point of your swing further back and shift the

11
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:47.800
path a little bit more to the left. So what you would expect to see is as the

12
00:00:47.800 --> 00:00:52.080
weight goes back this way you would have a little bit more of a thin contact or

13
00:00:52.080 --> 00:00:57.600
more of a pick of the ball or if you didn't you would hit it well fat. Also

14
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:00.720
you would tend to hit the ball a little bit more out on the toe because of the

15
00:01:00.720 --> 00:01:05.390
path going a little bit more to the left. So we'll pay attention to that make

16
00:01:05.390 --> 00:01:05.440
sure

17
00:01:05.440 --> 00:01:11.270
that your left leg is getting over that left hip but normally if you're having

18
00:01:11.270 --> 00:01:11.280
a

19
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:16.480
hard time getting here at impact it's usually a transition error more than it

20
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:21.320
is a pure concept there or an error in what you think you're supposed to be

21
00:01:21.320 --> 00:01:21.520
doing

22
00:01:21.520 --> 00:01:25.560
at impact. So review the transition section if I pointed to the left hip

23
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:32.000
being an issue. The next one would be standing up. So if I face this way

24
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:32.480
imagine

25
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:37.040
I'm hitting the golf ball into the net over there. What will happen will be

26
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:42.520
instead of having that lateral bend like so I will tend to stand up with my

27
00:01:42.520 --> 00:01:46.280
upper body. Now there's a variety of different reasons why you might want to

28
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:52.280
stand up. One it can create power. Two it prevents me from hitting it fat but

29
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:53.080
some

30
00:01:53.080 --> 00:01:58.320
of the big ones would be that it can really help square the club face. So if

31
00:01:58.320 --> 00:02:03.160
you have a hard time squaring the club face like if you feel like when you stay

32
00:02:03.160 --> 00:02:07.400
down and you get your hands ahead you shank the ball or you hit it way off to

33
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:11.280
the right it's really a sign that you're not comfortable with how to release

34
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:11.280
the

35
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:14.590
club and you're not quite sure what the hand should do during transition. So

36
00:02:14.590 --> 00:02:14.760
you'll

37
00:02:14.760 --> 00:02:17.480
get there when you get to those sections or if you've gone through this a

38
00:02:17.480 --> 00:02:17.840
second

39
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:21.880
time go back and review the release drills because that's probably a big

40
00:02:21.880 --> 00:02:26.360
reason why you're standing up. Standing up causes a very quick closing of the

41
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:31.880
club face. So if a club face is very open kind of after delivery position

42
00:02:31.880 --> 00:02:37.200
standing up does one of the best ways of getting it to square. Similar to the

43
00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:45.280
standing up would be the hands back. So just having my hands back like so more

44
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:49.080
off the right half of the body instead of off the left half of the body. Again

45
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:53.720
this is typically a release error and a way for me to get the club face to

46
00:02:53.720 --> 00:02:53.720
point

47
00:02:53.720 --> 00:02:59.280
at my target as opposed to if I get the hands ahead and I'm not quite sure how

48
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:03.180
to square the club with just my hands it will tend to point off to the right.

49
00:03:03.180 --> 00:03:03.200
So

50
00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:07.280
that's a usually good indication when the hands are back right here that either

51
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:11.920
I'm not sure how to get from transition to release or I just I'm not sure how

52
00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:11.920
to

53
00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:20.720
release the club. Now often those two go together with one exception like often

54
00:03:20.720 --> 00:03:26.040
you will have stand up weight back and your hands early released. The exception

55
00:03:26.040 --> 00:03:30.080
would be if you get weight forward but your upper body goes with it. Now if I

56
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:36.080
was to hold onto the angle with my wrist I would basically slam the club very

57
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:41.080
steeply in the ground often I would top the ball because that I wouldn't have

58
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:44.800
the right shoulder down low enough to get me close enough to the golf ball so I

59
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:48.720
would slam it in that way. Again if you're having trouble with getting this

60
00:03:48.720 --> 00:03:52.630
right side then it's usually a sign that you're not quite sure how to release

61
00:03:52.630 --> 00:03:52.760
the

62
00:03:52.760 --> 00:03:57.430
club through here and all you can do is have the arms extend out towards the

63
00:03:57.430 --> 00:03:57.440
ball

64
00:03:57.440 --> 00:04:02.240
so your upper body is a great compensator for arms that don't quite know what

65
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.640
they're supposed to be doing. This is part of the reason that we've put so

66
00:04:05.640 --> 00:04:11.840
much emphasis on the release in the movement section and the last one would

67
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:17.120
be the left arm bending through impact. Now this can happen if you stay down

68
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:23.040
pretty well but again this is a way to narrow the arc and get the club to

69
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:30.560
square like so as opposed to going in front like this. So you'll see that a lot

70
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:34.760
of the impact errors will show up as either a transition problem or a release

71
00:04:34.760 --> 00:04:40.280
problem but you can train the moment in time as you're working on the movements

72
00:04:40.280 --> 00:04:42.680
and it sometimes helps you speed up the learning process.
