00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.680
This concept video is two common flip compensations.

2
00:00:08.680 --> 00:00:14.160
So frequently, if golfers have a flip, it'll be obvious on video.

3
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:18.230
You'll see that it's, you know, shaft backward like this, arm straight, usually

4
00:00:18.230 --> 00:00:18.680
causing the

5
00:00:18.680 --> 00:00:19.960
chicken wing.

6
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:23.800
But as you get better, you might see some shaft forward.

7
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:28.280
You might see less of kind of the arm breakdown on the way through.

8
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:32.000
The flip is really the spectrum of stability and impact.

9
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:35.250
So here are two things that you can look out for to see if you're still, if

10
00:00:35.250 --> 00:00:35.860
your brain

11
00:00:35.860 --> 00:00:38.520
is kind of still trying to compensate for a flip.

12
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:42.120
A flip has a faster club face change down at the bottom.

13
00:00:42.120 --> 00:00:47.320
It goes from pointing way open here to way closed there.

14
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:51.190
And so often what will happen is you struggle with the two way miss of hitting

15
00:00:51.190 --> 00:00:51.840
some shots

16
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:54.160
off to the right and then shots to the left.

17
00:00:54.160 --> 00:00:58.640
So what your brain will do is to help you, it will essentially move the ball

18
00:00:58.640 --> 00:00:59.280
back.

19
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:05.110
So then you will be able to kind of artificially slow down how fast the club is

20
00:01:05.110 --> 00:01:06.080
closing or

21
00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:10.280
hit it earlier before it has a chance to close down.

22
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:15.040
So one common compensation for having the flip is moving the ball back.

23
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:18.400
Now that's actually, I would say a good compensation.

24
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:21.860
If you are flipping the ball and let's say you had to play in the tournament

25
00:01:21.860 --> 00:01:22.520
tomorrow,

26
00:01:22.520 --> 00:01:27.810
you would probably want the ball position to be slightly back of the classics

27
00:01:27.810 --> 00:01:28.040
toward

28
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:32.780
standard, partly because of the club face and partly because when you flip it's

29
00:01:32.780 --> 00:01:33.240
going

30
00:01:33.240 --> 00:01:36.240
to move the contact or the ground location further back.

31
00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:40.520
So that can help you hit it more solid and it can help you hit it straight.

32
00:01:40.520 --> 00:01:44.030
The problem becomes then with the driver, sometimes it causes you to hit shots

33
00:01:44.030 --> 00:01:44.440
off to

34
00:01:44.440 --> 00:01:45.640
the right.

35
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:52.230
The second issue is aiming the body left, which done just by, you know, if I

36
00:01:52.230 --> 00:01:53.080
keep the ball

37
00:01:53.080 --> 00:01:56.200
position the same, aiming left doesn't really have a change.

38
00:01:56.200 --> 00:02:00.200
But what a lot of people do is when they aim left, they keep the ball in the

39
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:00.800
same spot

40
00:02:00.800 --> 00:02:03.320
which effectively moves the ball position back.

41
00:02:03.320 --> 00:02:09.050
It's like if I'm facing it here and I move this way to aim left rather than

42
00:02:09.050 --> 00:02:10.200
moving this

43
00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:11.200
way to aim left.

44
00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:15.250
And you can see when I do that if I just turn my feet, then that moves the ball

45
00:02:15.250 --> 00:02:15.880
position

46
00:02:15.880 --> 00:02:21.080
back and that can do the same thing as slowing down or hitting the ball earlier

47
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:21.800
in the arc,

48
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:27.040
which helps artificially prevent the club face from getting too close.

49
00:02:27.040 --> 00:02:31.440
So it's really kind of these, I would say two little stealth things that can

50
00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:32.080
show up,

51
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:35.340
especially if you used to have a flip and then you worked on it for a lot and

52
00:02:35.340 --> 00:02:35.780
you feel

53
00:02:35.780 --> 00:02:40.180
like your release is better, but you still are struggling with a little bit of

54
00:02:40.180 --> 00:02:40.800
the flip

55
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:48.090
missed tendencies, the fat, thin contact, more pulls, possibly two way miss toe

56
00:02:48.090 --> 00:02:49.000
contact.

57
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.160
Those are those are some of the common patterns for the flip.

58
00:02:52.160 --> 00:02:55.790
Oftentimes you will start compensating for those by moving the ball pack or

59
00:02:55.790 --> 00:02:56.520
moving your

60
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:57.600
stance open.

61
00:02:57.600 --> 00:03:02.390
So pay attention to that, especially if you're having good success on the range

62
00:03:02.390 --> 00:03:02.880
and then

63
00:03:02.880 --> 00:03:05.920
it's breaking down when you get on the course, have one of your bodies have one

64
00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:07.360
of your buddies.

65
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.950
You get your alignment, see if you're moving the ball position back or forward,

66
00:03:10.950 --> 00:03:11.400
that can

67
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:14.610
tell you that your brain still thinks you need to work on the stability of your

68
00:03:14.610 --> 00:03:15.040
release

69
00:03:15.040 --> 00:03:18.960
pattern.

70
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:23.140
So if I'm flipping it like this, you'll see that that's going to cause kind of

71
00:03:23.140 --> 00:03:23.560
a thin

72
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:28.760
pull and now I can artificially, I can kind of keep that same release pattern

73
00:03:28.760 --> 00:03:29.200
and move

74
00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:35.010
the ball backward and it will now have kind of this low cut, but it will be

75
00:03:35.010 --> 00:03:36.560
very playable.

76
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.200
So if you're in a pinch and you have to play tomorrow and you have a big flip,

77
00:03:39.200 --> 00:03:39.600
I would

78
00:03:39.600 --> 00:03:42.760
move the ball position back long term.

79
00:03:42.760 --> 00:03:46.820
If you're working on developing more of your stock tour swing, then I would use

80
00:03:46.820 --> 00:03:47.380
the fact

81
00:03:47.380 --> 00:03:50.280
that I keep wanting to move the ball back as a sign that I probably still need

82
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:50.640
to work

83
00:03:50.640 --> 00:03:51.240
on my release.
