00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.720
This drill is the two major ways to square the club face so I there are lots

2
00:00:06.720 --> 00:00:09.660
of different ways that you can classify the swing and one of the ways that I

3
00:00:09.660 --> 00:00:13.120
like to classify it is if you tend to be more of an upper body dominant swing

4
00:00:13.120 --> 00:00:13.240
or

5
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:18.240
you tend to be more of a lower body dominant swing. When you start getting

6
00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:21.920
into different preferences and biases you'll tend to see that the lower body

7
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:25.480
dominant swing tends to do better with the longer clubs like the driver three

8
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:28.990
would long irons and you'll tend to see that the upper body dominant swing

9
00:00:28.990 --> 00:00:29.520
tends

10
00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:34.400
to do with the shorter clubs kind of eight iron through wedges. Now they have

11
00:00:34.400 --> 00:00:39.120
slightly different kind of ways of controlling low point and things that

12
00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:42.600
work around them but you'll see that the best golfers in the world are able to

13
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:47.000
kind of oscillate between one versus the other just as a really good tennis

14
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:50.540
player is able to hit a really powerful ground stroke and then hit a volley

15
00:00:50.540 --> 00:00:50.880
when

16
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:57.480
they need to. So when we look at these two different swing patterns we'll see

17
00:00:57.480 --> 00:01:02.520
that there's different ways of squaring the club face as the dominant movement.

18
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:07.520
If you tend to be more upper body dominant you will tend to get steep with

19
00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:13.480
the shaft so it will tend to require less body rotation and it will tend to

20
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:18.720
require a little bit of kind of standing up into or lunging to help control the

21
00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:25.320
low point. With this kind of a little bit steeper arm movement kind of like so

22
00:01:25.320 --> 00:01:26.360
if

23
00:01:26.360 --> 00:01:32.600
you were to then motorcycle you will tend to have really diggy contact and take

24
00:01:32.600 --> 00:01:38.920
really steep divots. So the the way that you'll tend to see the more common

25
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:44.320
approach if you tend to be more upper body dominant is to square the face more

26
00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:53.600
with the supination kind of like this. So you've seen a lot of golf books and

27
00:01:53.600 --> 00:01:58.540
golf instructors talk about this style of release. It just doesn't match up

28
00:01:58.540 --> 00:01:58.560
with

29
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:02.360
what the best drivers in the golf ball do or what the most consistent ball

30
00:02:02.360 --> 00:02:07.400
strikers do when they're hitting the longer clubs. They may feel that but 3D is

31
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:11.720
kind of revealed that that's not necessarily the case. So if you're going

32
00:02:11.720 --> 00:02:16.160
to get more upper body dominant then feeling a little bit more of the tumble

33
00:02:16.160 --> 00:02:21.520
or feeling a little bit more of the club working through this supination kind

34
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:21.680
of

35
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:27.740
like this can work really well for hitting the ball solidly given a couple

36
00:02:27.740 --> 00:02:31.560
different things. One making sure that I'm not really firing my lower body or

37
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:37.280
getting too open. Number two making sure that my arms pretty straight and

38
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:37.720
impact

39
00:02:37.720 --> 00:02:42.040
so I'm not going to have a ton of rotation and side bend. That's that's all

40
00:02:42.040 --> 00:02:44.680
finding good for the shorter shots where it's okay to have a little bit

41
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:48.440
steeper angle of attack but it's going to give me lots of problems when I get

42
00:02:48.440 --> 00:02:55.120
into the longer clubs. So with the longer clubs one of the hallmarks of the

43
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:55.320
body

44
00:02:55.320 --> 00:02:58.360
centered swing is you're going to have a little bit more of this arm

45
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:02.240
shallowing. So instead of the arms working kind of steeply you're going to

46
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:06.200
tend to have more of this arm shallowing movement. With this arm shallowing

47
00:03:06.200 --> 00:03:10.760
movement it's going to be very difficult for me to continue rotating and

48
00:03:10.760 --> 00:03:16.120
supinate hard enough early enough in order to square the club face. So I tend

49
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:20.400
to need more of this shaft rotation and I tend to need more of this motorcycle

50
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:25.240
movement. So when I start getting into shallow and powering it more with the

51
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:29.200
body I'm going to have this motorcycle movement and then it will kind of

52
00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:36.080
gradually blend into that supination down late but a lot of golfers describe

53
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:40.160
it and 3d will tend to show that that motorcycle movement and the shaft

54
00:03:40.160 --> 00:03:43.920
rotation tends to be a little bit more dominant when you're using more of the

55
00:03:43.920 --> 00:03:48.840
body centered approach. If you're struggling with controlling the club face

56
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:52.960
or getting the ball you know controlling the face-to-path relationship

57
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:58.040
you should look at these two methods for squaring the club face. Even with the

58
00:03:58.040 --> 00:04:02.480
arm dominant swing if you're going to have some body power you're going to have

59
00:04:02.480 --> 00:04:06.840
some motorcycle it's just not going to be quite as much as if you were doing

60
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:14.320
more of the body driven you know the Adam Scott, Justin Rose, Roy McElroy,

61
00:04:14.320 --> 00:04:14.960
Dustin

62
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:22.280
Johnson, all those really elite ball strikers. So you can play around drill

63
00:04:22.280 --> 00:04:29.480
wise with working between the two. So you can see okay if I was to go more in

64
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:36.320
this pattern what would happen if I got really aggressive with my body I would

65
00:04:36.320 --> 00:04:42.080
tend to hit kind of more of a snap hook so that's not going to work I need to

66
00:04:42.080 --> 00:04:46.960
have a little bit more shallow arms just kind of the opposite and having a

67
00:04:46.960 --> 00:04:50.680
little bit more of that motorcycle so that I can hit a little bit more of that

68
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:54.420
push draw. So then I can play around with the opposite I can get a little bit

69
00:04:54.420 --> 00:04:54.640
more

70
00:04:54.640 --> 00:05:00.040
vertical and work with the arms kind of like so and so there's my kind of arm

71
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.560
dominant swing really pulling with my arms and now I'm going to feel a little

72
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:08.640
bit more of that tumble or I'm going to feel more of that supination and in

73
00:05:08.640 --> 00:05:12.930
order to balance that I'm gonna just let my upper body kind of drift a little

74
00:05:12.930 --> 00:05:13.080
bit

75
00:05:13.080 --> 00:05:17.240
more on top of the golf ball instead of having that really good bracing that

76
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:22.760
really good pivot because what I would feel is if I got a little bit

77
00:05:22.760 --> 00:05:31.080
steeper and arm dominant and I motorcycle you can hear well a I think I

78
00:05:31.080 --> 00:05:35.160
shank that a little bit but B you can you can hear and I could totally feel the

79
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:39.920
club just wanted wanting to dig into the ground so part of the beauty of the

80
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:43.240
motorcycle is it tends to help you want to shallow out to avoid hitting the

81
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:47.000
ground which gets you more body centered body driven which helps with the

82
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:47.280
longer

83
00:05:47.280 --> 00:05:55.240
clubs but there is a time and a place for having more of this arm tumble method

84
00:05:55.240 --> 00:06:00.400
of squaring the club face so if you're confused with how to control the club

85
00:06:00.400 --> 00:06:04.880
face hopefully this drill helps helps you understand the two major forms either

86
00:06:04.880 --> 00:06:12.600
rotating the shaft or using the entire shaft to move the path those two methods

87
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:16.920
will help close the club face and you have to make sure that you're not

88
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:20.040
applying the wrong one or else it's different definitely going to call you

89
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:25.840
cause you contact and ball flight issues with one end of the spectrum either

90
00:06:25.840 --> 00:06:26.000
the

91
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.600
short clubs or the long clubs
