00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
The drill is the two major ways to square the club face.

00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:09,000
So there are lots of different ways that you can classify this wing and one of the ways

00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,000
that I like to classify it is if you tend to be more of an upper body dominance wing

00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,000
or you tend to be more of a lower body dominance wing.

00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,000
When you start getting into different preferences and biases, you'll tend to see that lower

00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
body dominance wing tends to do better with the longer clubs like the driver's three

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,000
would, long irons, tend to see that the upper body dominance wing tends to do with the

00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000
shorter clubs, kind of eight iron through wedges.

00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Now they have slightly different ways of controlling low point and things that work around

00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,000
them.

00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,000
But you'll see that the best golfers in the world are able to kind of oscillate between

00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,000
one versus the other just as a really good tennis player is able to hit a really powerful

00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,000
ground stroke and then hit a volley when they need to.

00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:59,000
So when we look at these two different swing patterns, we'll see that there's different ways

00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,000
of squaring the club face as the dominant movement.

00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,000
If you tend to be more upper body dominance, you will tend to get steep with the shaft.

00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:14,000
So it will tend to require less body rotation and it will tend to require a little bit

00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:20,000
of kind of standing up into or lunging to help control the low point.

00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:27,000
If this kind of a little bit steeper arm movement, kind of like so, if you were to then

00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:34,000
motorcycle, you will tend to have really diggy contact and take really steep divots.

00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:41,000
So the way that you'll tend to see the more common approach if you tend to be more upper

00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:49,000
body dominant is to square the face more with the supination kind of like this.

00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:57,000
So you've seen a lot of golf books and golf instructors talk about this style of release.

00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,000
It just doesn't match up with what the best drivers in the golf ball do or what the most

00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,000
consistent ball strikers do when they're hitting a longer clubs.

00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,000
They may feel that but 3D is kind of revealed that that's not necessarily the case.

00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,000
So if you're going to get more upper body dominant, then feeling a little bit more of

00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:21,000
the tumble or feeling a little bit more of the club working through this supination

00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:27,000
kind of like this can work really well for hitting the ball solidly, given a couple

00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,000
different things.

00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:34,000
One, making sure that I'm not really firing my lower body or getting too open.

00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Number two, making sure that my arm is pretty straight and impact.

00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,000
So I'm not going to have a ton of rotation inside that.

00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,000
That's all finding good for the shorter shots where it's okay to have a little bit steeper

00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,000
angle to tack but it's going to give me lots of problems when I get into the longer clubs.

00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:56,000
So with the longer clubs, one of the hallmarks of the body centered swing is you're going

00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000
to have a little bit more of this arm shallowing.

00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,000
So instead of the arm's working kind of steeply, you're going to tend to have more of

00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,000
this arm shallowing movement.

00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,000
With this arm shallowing movement, it's going to be very difficult for me to continue

00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:15,000
rotating and supinate hard enough early enough in order to square the club face.

00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,000
So I tend to need more of this shaft rotation and I tend to need more of this motorcycle

00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000
movement.

00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,000
So when I start getting into shallow and powering it more with the body, I'm going to

00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:32,000
have this motorcycle movement and then it will kind of gradually blend into that supination

00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,000
down late.

00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,000
A lot of golfers describe it and 3D will tend to show that that motorcycle movement

00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,000
and the shaft rotation tends to be a little bit more dominant when you're using more

00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000
of the body centered approach.

00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:51,000
If you're struggling with controlling the club face or getting the ball controlling the

00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:57,000
face to path relationship, you should look at these two methods for squaring the club face.

00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Even with the arm dominance weighing, if you're going to have some body power, you're

00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,000
going to have some motorcycle.

00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:09,000
It's just not going to be quite as much as if you were doing more of the body driven,

00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:17,000
the Adam Scott's Justin Rose, Roy McRoy, Dustin Johnson, all those really elite ball

00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,000
strikers.

00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:25,000
So you can play around drill-wise with working between the two.

00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:33,000
So you can see, okay, if I was to go more in this pattern, what would happen if I got

00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:40,000
really aggressive with my body, I would tend to hit kind of more of a snap hook.

00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,000
So that's not going to work.

00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:47,000
I need to have a little bit more shallow arms, just kind of the opposite and having a little

00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,000
bit more of that motor cycle so that I can hit a little bit more of that push draw.

00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,000
So then I can play around with the opposite, I can get a little bit more vertical and

00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000
work with the arms kind of like so.

00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,000
So there's my kind of arm dominant swing really pulling with my arms and now I'm going

00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,000
to feel a little bit more of that tumble or I'm going to feel more of that supination

00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,000
in order to balance that.

00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,000
I'm going to just let my upper body kind of drift a little bit more on top of the golf

00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,000
ball instead of having that really good bracing that really good pivot.

00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:28,000
What I would feel is if I got a little bit steeper and arm dominant and I motor cycle,

00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,000
you can hear, well, hey, I think I shank that a little bit, but be you can hear and I

00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:38,000
could totally feel the club just wanting to dig into the ground.

00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,000
So part of the beauty of the motor cycle is it tends to help you want to shallow out

00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,000
to avoid hitting the ground which gets you more body centered body driven, which helps

00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:54,000
with the longer clubs, but there is a time in a place for having more of this arm tumble

00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,000
method of squaring the club base.

00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:02,000
So if you're confused with how to control the club base, hopefully this drill helps you

00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:10,000
understand the two major forms either rotating the shaft or using the entire shaft to move

00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:16,000
the path, those two methods will help close the club base and you have to make sure that

00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,000
you're not applying the wrong one or else it's definitely going to call you cause you

00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:27,000
contact and ball flight issues with one end of the spectrum either the short clubs or the

00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:27,000
long clubs.
