00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.720
In this concept video, we're going to look at power sources.

2
00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:08.200
So I try to keep my videos kind of in the short couple minute range.

3
00:00:08.200 --> 00:00:09.960
This one is going to be a little bit longer.

4
00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:13.820
So grab a sheet of paper, get ready to take some notes because power sources

5
00:00:13.820 --> 00:00:14.480
have a big

6
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:17.360
impact on a lot of the golf swing.

7
00:00:17.360 --> 00:00:20.180
Before we get into looking at the golf club and power sources and how they

8
00:00:20.180 --> 00:00:20.960
affect that,

9
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:24.160
let's take something a little bit simpler like throwing a ball.

10
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:29.120
So if I was to grab a few golf balls here, I'm going to demonstrate a couple

11
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:29.960
different

12
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:32.040
ways that I could throw a ball.

13
00:00:32.040 --> 00:00:36.240
Basically, power sources are what's driving the movement.

14
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:37.920
So I can drive the movement.

15
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:39.120
I can help transfer.

16
00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:40.120
I can control.

17
00:00:40.120 --> 00:00:42.680
There's a few things that my body can do.

18
00:00:42.680 --> 00:00:46.380
Driving the movement is what I'm referring to when I'm looking at power sources

19
00:00:46.380 --> 00:00:46.640
.

20
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:50.430
So I could throw a ball with just my wrist, I could try to lock out everything

21
00:00:50.430 --> 00:00:51.000
and throw

22
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:54.390
it with just my elbow that had a little wrist involved because it's hard to

23
00:00:54.390 --> 00:00:55.360
take out.

24
00:00:55.360 --> 00:01:00.520
I could throw it with just my shoulder in an external rotation or it gets more

25
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:01.520
complicated

26
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:02.680
when I put them together.

27
00:01:02.680 --> 00:01:08.010
If I were to slow that down, you would see that I went kind of shoulder, then

28
00:01:08.010 --> 00:01:08.600
tricep

29
00:01:08.600 --> 00:01:11.000
or elbow and then finally wrist.

30
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:14.860
Well, we could do the same thing for vertical jumping and perhaps it's a little

31
00:01:14.860 --> 00:01:15.520
bit easier

32
00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:16.520
to look at.

33
00:01:16.520 --> 00:01:19.560
So if I was to vertical jump, I'm going to squat down.

34
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:23.520
I could push through my calves, I could do kind of an ankle jump.

35
00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:26.700
I could push more through my knees and do almost like a quad jump.

36
00:01:26.700 --> 00:01:29.320
You'd see that that had less hip extension.

37
00:01:29.320 --> 00:01:34.640
I could do a hip extension type jump, which is a little bit more ideal.

38
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:39.280
I can even do a back jump if I throw my arms up and I jump with my back.

39
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:42.560
So those are two examples with kind of the vertical jump and the throw.

40
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:45.490
In sports, there's going to be one of two different tendencies that you're

41
00:01:45.490 --> 00:01:45.920
going to

42
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:47.200
tend to see.

43
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:51.170
Either I'm going to try to activate muscles in a sequence or I'm going to try

44
00:01:51.170 --> 00:01:51.960
to activate

45
00:01:51.960 --> 00:01:53.560
them all at once.

46
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:59.990
So in a throwing example or a striking example, typically you are going to try

47
00:01:59.990 --> 00:02:00.960
and go from

48
00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:04.120
what's called proximal to distal or from the ground to the implement.

49
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:08.780
So if I was throwing a ball, I'm going to try to activate my lower body, then

50
00:02:08.780 --> 00:02:09.440
my trunk,

51
00:02:09.440 --> 00:02:13.400
then my shoulder and then finally my arms.

52
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:18.560
If I was doing a strength activity, like let's say I'm doing a heavy squat or

53
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:19.320
deadlift

54
00:02:19.320 --> 00:02:22.840
or to make it even more fun, let's just say I'm pushing a car.

55
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:26.480
So I've got my hands up against the car and I'm going to try to push it.

56
00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:27.480
We've got it neutral.

57
00:02:27.480 --> 00:02:30.000
It's out of gas and I've got to get it to the gas station.

58
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:33.840
I would want to activate everything pretty much simultaneously.

59
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:37.890
I wouldn't want to push with my calf and then push with my hip and then just

60
00:02:37.890 --> 00:02:38.600
last push

61
00:02:38.600 --> 00:02:41.600
with my arms because the whole chain would break down.

62
00:02:41.600 --> 00:02:46.040
So there's these two different kind of requirements.

63
00:02:46.040 --> 00:02:49.440
If I'm trying to create speed, I do one thing, I do sequencing.

64
00:02:49.440 --> 00:02:53.880
If I'm trying to create strength, I activate it all at once.

65
00:02:53.880 --> 00:02:57.670
So that's an important concept because a lot of golfers are going to use that

66
00:02:57.670 --> 00:02:58.240
strength

67
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:02.920
concept for golf, even though in golf we're more towards the speed end of the

68
00:03:02.920 --> 00:03:03.720
spectrum.

69
00:03:03.720 --> 00:03:07.320
So now let's get to golf and let's divide the body into a couple different

70
00:03:07.320 --> 00:03:08.040
segments.

71
00:03:08.040 --> 00:03:10.640
So we're going to look at basically the lower body.

72
00:03:10.640 --> 00:03:13.210
We're going to look at the trunk and then we're going to look at the shoulders

73
00:03:13.210 --> 00:03:14.400
and arms.

74
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:20.090
Now ideally we want to use our entire body and we want to use it in balanced

75
00:03:20.090 --> 00:03:20.960
sequence

76
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:21.960
faction.

77
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.740
So basically from the top of the swing we want to use our lower body, then we

78
00:03:24.740 --> 00:03:25.080
want to

79
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:28.060
use our trunk, then we want to use our shoulders, then we want to use our hands

80
00:03:28.060 --> 00:03:28.560
at the very

81
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:30.360
last second.

82
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:36.800
So that gives us kind of the maximal speed and it more importantly doing so is

83
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:37.640
the more

84
00:03:37.640 --> 00:03:41.400
repeatable way to produce the ideal path that we're trying to create.

85
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:48.440
Now the last little kind of overview topic is looking at are we creating speed

86
00:03:48.440 --> 00:03:49.080
in a short

87
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.920
rapid fashion or are we creating speed in a long, slow fashion.

88
00:03:52.920 --> 00:03:56.760
If you look at the long drive tour you'll typically see both of these examples.

89
00:03:56.760 --> 00:04:01.430
You'll typically see guys who kind of get wound up really explosive in their

90
00:04:01.430 --> 00:04:02.240
lower body,

91
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.670
clubs almost at about parallel and then they just kind of explode and use as

92
00:04:05.670 --> 00:04:06.200
much as they

93
00:04:06.200 --> 00:04:07.200
can.

94
00:04:07.200 --> 00:04:10.760
Then you'll see guys who tend to cover a big range of motion and get those arms

95
00:04:10.760 --> 00:04:11.200
really

96
00:04:11.200 --> 00:04:16.600
vertical, really high all the way, as high as they can and then they kind of

97
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:17.360
smoothly

98
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:21.240
accelerate the club over this long range of motion.

99
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:26.100
So those are those two different tendencies of either kind of short explosive,

100
00:04:26.100 --> 00:04:26.880
you know,

101
00:04:26.880 --> 00:04:31.010
quick fast switch muscles or long slow where I got to cover a big range of

102
00:04:31.010 --> 00:04:31.720
motion.

103
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.920
One is not necessarily better than the other but if you're trying to maximize

104
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:35.360
distance

105
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:38.990
you want to figure out which is best for you and you want to figure out how to

106
00:04:38.990 --> 00:04:39.520
maximize

107
00:04:39.520 --> 00:04:42.320
both in the ideal situation.

108
00:04:42.320 --> 00:04:47.000
One last little important tidbit is when we're looking at loading a muscle you

109
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:48.160
'll hear load

110
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:51.960
up in the backswing, you know, load your core, load your ex-factual, you'll

111
00:04:51.960 --> 00:04:52.800
hear load a

112
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:53.800
whole lot.

113
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:56.400
What the heck do they actually mean when they're saying load?

114
00:04:56.400 --> 00:04:58.880
Load is essentially just stretching a muscle.

115
00:04:58.880 --> 00:05:03.550
So right now I'm standing if I wanted to try and jump going to be virtually

116
00:05:03.550 --> 00:05:04.120
impossible.

117
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:05.120
Why?

118
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:07.960
Because I haven't stretched or loaded any muscles.

119
00:05:07.960 --> 00:05:12.230
If I was to turn this way and now I bend my ankle well I'm not going to be able

120
00:05:12.230 --> 00:05:12.840
, let's

121
00:05:12.840 --> 00:05:16.490
see, so if I bend my ankle but I don't use my hip so now my hip is still pretty

122
00:05:16.490 --> 00:05:16.760
much

123
00:05:16.760 --> 00:05:20.730
in a straight line I'm not going to get much hip explosion but I could jump

124
00:05:20.730 --> 00:05:21.400
pretty well

125
00:05:21.400 --> 00:05:25.250
for my ankle because I stretched it and I loaded it or I stretched it or I

126
00:05:25.250 --> 00:05:26.480
loaded it.

127
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:30.450
Now in a good squat I'm going to stretch my ankle, stretch my knee, stretch my

128
00:05:30.450 --> 00:05:31.000
hip and

129
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:35.360
then I'm going to do what's called triple extension, I'm going to go foot, knee

130
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:35.840
, hip,

131
00:05:35.840 --> 00:05:38.020
bang, vertical jump.

132
00:05:38.020 --> 00:05:42.680
So in the golf swing when we talk about loading up we're simply talking about

133
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:44.480
stretching muscles.

134
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:47.990
We're going to get into how we can use each of these three major power sources,

135
00:05:47.990 --> 00:05:48.400
each of

136
00:05:48.400 --> 00:05:53.390
my lower body, my trunk, my core or my shoulders and how we're going to stretch

137
00:05:53.390 --> 00:05:54.240
them, when

138
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:58.920
we're going to stretch them and what effects they have on the path of a club.

139
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:01.370
So if you haven't been taking notes yet this is when we're going to get more

140
00:06:01.370 --> 00:06:01.920
into the golf

141
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.280
section so sit back and enjoy.

142
00:06:04.280 --> 00:06:08.950
So even though you want to use your entire body and you want to use it in a

143
00:06:08.950 --> 00:06:09.360
relatively

144
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.910
balanced fashion in golf, unfortunately all of us come from different

145
00:06:12.910 --> 00:06:13.800
backgrounds.

146
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:17.230
We all learned and moved differently when we were young so everybody's going to

147
00:06:17.230 --> 00:06:17.320
have

148
00:06:17.320 --> 00:06:19.560
a dominant power source or two.

149
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:23.280
Now it might be very slight or it might be very dramatic but the net effect is

150
00:06:23.280 --> 00:06:23.640
going

151
00:06:23.640 --> 00:06:25.200
to be about the same.

152
00:06:25.200 --> 00:06:29.870
So if we were to divide the body into its thirds so we got legs and then we've

153
00:06:29.870 --> 00:06:30.800
got hips.

154
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:34.730
The hips could possibly be either a leg or a core joint depending on how they

155
00:06:34.730 --> 00:06:35.360
're used.

156
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:38.320
Now we've got trunk, we've got the shoulder blades.

157
00:06:38.320 --> 00:06:43.200
The shoulder blades could either be a core or an arm component depending on how

158
00:06:43.200 --> 00:06:43.920
they're

159
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:44.920
used.

160
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.560
And then lastly we've got the shoulders and the arms.

161
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:51.530
You'll notice that as I break this up I'm not talking about the wrists as a

162
00:06:51.530 --> 00:06:53.520
power source.

163
00:06:53.520 --> 00:06:58.850
And mostly the reason for that is you're going to see the power sources get the

164
00:06:58.850 --> 00:06:59.280
club

165
00:06:59.280 --> 00:07:02.560
moving before I then initiate the release.

166
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:07.230
Which means that the vast majority of the power sources are going to be shown

167
00:07:07.230 --> 00:07:07.560
during

168
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:12.180
the first third of the downswing or if you look at the kinematic sequence most

169
00:07:12.180 --> 00:07:12.440
of the

170
00:07:12.440 --> 00:07:16.780
body segments are going to reach their peach speeds by the time the arms are

171
00:07:16.780 --> 00:07:17.560
kind of about

172
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:19.800
chest height somewhere in there.

173
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:24.820
So the majority of the release is more transferring the speed than actually

174
00:07:24.820 --> 00:07:26.360
creating the speed.

175
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:29.590
It is possible to use your hands and wrists to create speed but it's better if

176
00:07:29.590 --> 00:07:30.000
you can

177
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:31.000
use them to transfer.

178
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:35.140
The reason I say that is what you'll see with the majority of long hitters is

179
00:07:35.140 --> 00:07:35.600
during

180
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:40.680
that first third when everything is starting to really transfer speed the

181
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:41.880
wrists are still

182
00:07:41.880 --> 00:07:45.000
the wrist and elbows are still kind of loading.

183
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:48.080
They're not really transferring that speed yet.

184
00:07:48.080 --> 00:07:52.750
So let's take a look at the three major power sources and how they affect

185
00:07:52.750 --> 00:07:53.600
different or how

186
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:57.680
you can use them and how they would affect the first area or the shoulders.

187
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:00.930
So the shoulders have a couple of different movements and there's a variety of

188
00:08:00.930 --> 00:08:01.400
different

189
00:08:01.400 --> 00:08:02.960
ways that we can load them.

190
00:08:02.960 --> 00:08:08.420
I can load them in either this is up down or flexion can load extension or

191
00:08:08.420 --> 00:08:09.640
extension can

192
00:08:09.640 --> 00:08:11.120
load flexion.

193
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:14.160
I can do adduction to load abduction.

194
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:18.500
I can do abduction to load adduction or basically arm across this way and I can

195
00:08:18.500 --> 00:08:19.040
rotate it so

196
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:23.680
I can load internal rotation to fire externally.

197
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:26.700
Let's look at what the common sources are.

198
00:08:26.700 --> 00:08:34.400
If you are a shoulder dominant player you will tend to have very high hands.

199
00:08:34.400 --> 00:08:36.720
That helps you load the shoulder joints.

200
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:40.680
It does not help you create more speed from gravity.

201
00:08:40.680 --> 00:08:44.560
That's just kind of one of those wives tail not really backed by science.

202
00:08:44.560 --> 00:08:47.950
Mike Duffy a while back did a great little post where he explained you know in

203
00:08:47.950 --> 00:08:48.280
order

204
00:08:48.280 --> 00:08:51.710
for gravity have an effect yes you need more height but you also need more time

205
00:08:51.710 --> 00:08:51.960
and the

206
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:55.210
time doesn't change nearly as dramatic and the height is very small you know if

207
00:08:55.210 --> 00:08:55.520
we're

208
00:08:55.520 --> 00:09:00.000
only going this much and how much gravity can actually help you load.

209
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:02.390
It's not so much that you're getting more gravity to that you're loading your

210
00:09:02.390 --> 00:09:02.840
shoulder

211
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:04.680
joints and the muscles around them.

212
00:09:04.680 --> 00:09:09.430
So the common ones for the left shoulder are going to be loading across your

213
00:09:09.430 --> 00:09:10.000
body like

214
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:14.260
so so that I can then fire this way through the wall it's a very late release

215
00:09:14.260 --> 00:09:14.760
of that

216
00:09:14.760 --> 00:09:20.320
one and then raising up to load dropping down now typically when you raise up

217
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:20.680
you want

218
00:09:20.680 --> 00:09:24.070
to make sure that you keep this connection in the shoulder as opposed to

219
00:09:24.070 --> 00:09:24.800
letting that

220
00:09:24.800 --> 00:09:28.010
shoulder blade collapse because it will affect how you can transfer energy

221
00:09:28.010 --> 00:09:29.240
through your core.

222
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:33.400
That's why the shoulder blade is one of those kind of bridge joints.

223
00:09:33.400 --> 00:09:36.870
The right arm so the right arm one of the biggest power sources is going to be

224
00:09:36.870 --> 00:09:37.160
this

225
00:09:37.160 --> 00:09:43.300
tricep extension triceps create a lot of speed I'm also going to load external

226
00:09:43.300 --> 00:09:44.120
rotation

227
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:49.730
just like so to then transfer with internal rotation down very late and I'm

228
00:09:49.730 --> 00:09:50.720
going to have

229
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:55.360
a little bit of this adduction to load a reduction.

230
00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:59.240
So there are some guys like say a Fred couples or a Jack Nicholas who get up to

231
00:09:59.240 --> 00:09:59.800
the top of

232
00:09:59.800 --> 00:10:04.470
the swing really high hands and have a really big load of this shoulder all

233
00:10:04.470 --> 00:10:05.200
right a load

234
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:11.000
as in they stretch their pec muscles a lot like so now that can be a great

235
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:12.120
power source

236
00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:15.870
or it can be a detriment because what what ends up happening is for those good

237
00:10:15.870 --> 00:10:16.320
golfers

238
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:19.750
they're able to then reconnect to delivery position so that they can transfer

239
00:10:19.750 --> 00:10:20.040
through

240
00:10:20.040 --> 00:10:21.600
in a good release.

241
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:25.520
What a lot of golfers do is if they've stretched their shoulders all the way as

242
00:10:25.520 --> 00:10:26.240
much as they

243
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:30.910
can at the top of the swing then physically I cannot lead with the rib cage or

244
00:10:30.910 --> 00:10:31.440
I cannot

245
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:36.110
lead with the lower body than the rib cage because I have no slack if I've

246
00:10:36.110 --> 00:10:36.640
stretched this

247
00:10:36.640 --> 00:10:41.320
as much as I can or as much as I safely can I can't increase it so it messes up

248
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:42.080
my sequencing

249
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:45.680
and what ends up happening is the arms tend to fire more from the top of the

250
00:10:45.680 --> 00:10:46.120
swing so

251
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:50.790
I get into this position and now that would be kind of that falling good Jack

252
00:10:50.790 --> 00:10:51.240
Nicholas

253
00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:55.920
Fred couples movement or it goes boom and it's kind of a power source because I

254
00:10:55.920 --> 00:10:56.480
'm using

255
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:00.890
that shoulder joint to help create the speed versus what a lot of amateurs do

256
00:11:00.890 --> 00:11:01.640
so they get

257
00:11:01.640 --> 00:11:05.170
very high up here and then it's just all arms and shoulders because the arms

258
00:11:05.170 --> 00:11:05.920
and shoulders

259
00:11:05.920 --> 00:11:08.200
fire right away from the top of the swing.

260
00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:12.880
If you remember from the beginning ultimately we want to fire legs core and

261
00:11:12.880 --> 00:11:13.640
then show way

262
00:11:13.640 --> 00:11:18.290
that overloading or overdoing the shoulder load can cause problems is it can

263
00:11:18.290 --> 00:11:18.520
relate to

264
00:11:18.520 --> 00:11:25.360
a few of other of the other issues such as sway or loss of posture so a sway if

265
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:25.960
I was

266
00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:30.620
to let my lower body go this way even if I did a good sway where I keep my foot

267
00:11:30.620 --> 00:11:30.800
planted

268
00:11:30.800 --> 00:11:35.600
I was to let my lower body go this way this really helps me load that vertical

269
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:36.360
movement

270
00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:41.000
of the shoulder joint so it really helps me load the shoulder the guys who tend

271
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:41.160
to be

272
00:11:41.160 --> 00:11:45.830
a little bit more compact like so they're going to tend to be more of the lower

273
00:11:45.830 --> 00:11:46.000
body

274
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:50.670
driven swings so if you're trying to balance it like if you're already going at

275
00:11:50.670 --> 00:11:51.320
100% of

276
00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:55.080
what your shoulders can do and you're trying to add a little bit of legs then

277
00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:55.560
going a

278
00:11:55.560 --> 00:12:02.230
little shorter may be a good option for you but if you're already leg driven

279
00:12:02.230 --> 00:12:03.160
and you have

280
00:12:03.160 --> 00:12:06.590
a long swing but you just don't use your lat it may not be the best method so

281
00:12:06.590 --> 00:12:07.080
it's important

282
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.010
to understand what your pattern is and what your dominant power sources are and

283
00:12:11.010 --> 00:12:11.320
how they're

284
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:13.120
affecting your swing.

285
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:18.690
You can also fall into if you're loading the shoulder joints too much typically

286
00:12:18.690 --> 00:12:19.240
what can

287
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:23.900
happen is you can have a little bit of this loss of posture because that

288
00:12:23.900 --> 00:12:24.560
actually helps

289
00:12:24.560 --> 00:12:28.530
load that shoulder joint right so one of the big ones especially on the left

290
00:12:28.530 --> 00:12:29.120
side in this

291
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:31.000
shoulder joint is going to be the lat.

292
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:35.670
The lat goes from my shoulder down to my pelvis so the further I get my

293
00:12:35.670 --> 00:12:36.940
shoulder away from

294
00:12:36.940 --> 00:12:41.140
my pelvis like so the more it's going to load the lat well if I bend this and

295
00:12:41.140 --> 00:12:41.520
bring

296
00:12:41.520 --> 00:12:46.620
this up I'm actually loading a bit of this kind of chop movement a little bit

297
00:12:46.620 --> 00:12:47.200
of that

298
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:51.880
I'm creating some extra load now it may affect my path and my consistency and

299
00:12:51.880 --> 00:12:53.000
it very well

300
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:55.720
probably well we'll get to that at the end section.

301
00:12:55.720 --> 00:13:00.660
The last one is if I overdo this you will tend to see some early extension late

302
00:13:00.660 --> 00:13:01.320
because

303
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:05.990
if I, my arms as you'll see when we get into how they affect path will tend to

304
00:13:05.990 --> 00:13:06.880
if I overload

305
00:13:06.880 --> 00:13:10.810
the chop movement will tend to create more of a steep angle of attack and so I

306
00:13:10.810 --> 00:13:11.560
had Charles

307
00:13:11.560 --> 00:13:16.230
Berkeley and just slam the club into the ground unless I went early extension

308
00:13:16.230 --> 00:13:16.920
very late to

309
00:13:16.920 --> 00:13:18.360
help balance it out.

310
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:21.790
So remember the power sources are going to show up in the first third when you

311
00:13:21.790 --> 00:13:22.160
're looking

312
00:13:22.160 --> 00:13:24.360
at your swing on video.

313
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:29.480
So you can have early extension that happens right as you start down or you can

314
00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:30.280
have early

315
00:13:30.280 --> 00:13:31.280
extension late.

316
00:13:31.280 --> 00:13:34.910
If it happens late it's typically more of a path driven thing so if you see

317
00:13:34.910 --> 00:13:35.760
that shoulder

318
00:13:35.760 --> 00:13:39.610
spin or that arm pull and then early extension I would be going after the power

319
00:13:39.610 --> 00:13:40.520
source first.

320
00:13:40.520 --> 00:13:44.320
So working down the chain the next piece is going to be the trunk.

321
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:48.220
So the trunk has a variety of different motions that it can do as well.

322
00:13:48.220 --> 00:13:53.970
So the trunk can turn right this is more of an oblique driven can rotate it

323
00:13:53.970 --> 00:13:55.140
could crunch

324
00:13:55.140 --> 00:14:02.500
so it can flex this way to create power it can side bend like so either

325
00:14:02.500 --> 00:14:03.800
direction and

326
00:14:03.800 --> 00:14:08.900
it can do an extension extension piece kind of like a back extension.

327
00:14:08.900 --> 00:14:12.870
Now each one of those is going to have a different effect on the path of the

328
00:14:12.870 --> 00:14:13.460
club.

329
00:14:13.460 --> 00:14:18.130
Now if you use your core in the right way it's going to help load the shoulder

330
00:14:18.130 --> 00:14:18.360
during

331
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:19.360
the downswing.

332
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:22.080
So instead of the shoulder is getting loaded all the way at the top of the

333
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:22.680
swing they'll

334
00:14:22.680 --> 00:14:27.480
be let's say 85% loaded and then the core is going to rotate and that's going

335
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:28.160
to create

336
00:14:28.160 --> 00:14:32.280
that extra nine you know 10% of load.

337
00:14:32.280 --> 00:14:36.550
So I've got my shoulders just kind of loaded and then when my core goes now I

338
00:14:36.550 --> 00:14:37.280
've got that

339
00:14:37.280 --> 00:14:38.920
load in my shoulder.

340
00:14:38.920 --> 00:14:44.290
So using each segment properly is going to help connect things work on your

341
00:14:44.290 --> 00:14:45.220
sequencing

342
00:14:45.220 --> 00:14:47.020
and get a really good path.

343
00:14:47.020 --> 00:14:50.980
So let's talk about how these different core moves can mess up the path.

344
00:14:50.980 --> 00:14:56.340
If I was to rotate that is going to create more of a steeper angle of attack.

345
00:14:56.340 --> 00:15:00.780
If I was to side bend that's going to create more of a shallow angle of attack.

346
00:15:00.780 --> 00:15:05.720
So frequently what the best players in the world tend to do is they're going to

347
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:06.380
combine

348
00:15:06.380 --> 00:15:11.570
side bend and rotation so that if my hands basically stay out in front of my

349
00:15:11.570 --> 00:15:12.100
body now

350
00:15:12.100 --> 00:15:14.560
that helps them come down on a good path.

351
00:15:14.560 --> 00:15:19.220
What a lot of golfers do is they will either not side bend and they'll just

352
00:15:19.220 --> 00:15:19.720
rotate and

353
00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:24.950
crunch now the club is coming down steep or they will side bend and back

354
00:15:24.950 --> 00:15:25.940
extension and

355
00:15:25.940 --> 00:15:28.240
now the club is coming in way too shallow.

356
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:33.380
So those are the common issues that I tend to see with the trunk and the core

357
00:15:33.380 --> 00:15:33.980
and how

358
00:15:33.980 --> 00:15:35.700
it can affect the path.

359
00:15:35.700 --> 00:15:39.630
Let's take a look at the legs, one of the biggest power sources and how it

360
00:15:39.630 --> 00:15:40.180
affects

361
00:15:40.180 --> 00:15:41.340
your golf swing.

362
00:15:41.340 --> 00:15:45.300
So now let's take a look at the legs and the common movements that they can do.

363
00:15:45.300 --> 00:15:50.420
So the common leg driven power sources are going to be a spin, I'll even let my

364
00:15:50.420 --> 00:15:50.820
feet

365
00:15:50.820 --> 00:15:53.340
go so you can see I can spin very powerfully.

366
00:15:53.340 --> 00:15:58.580
I can push side to side kind of like a speed skater or I can vertical jump.

367
00:15:58.580 --> 00:16:03.250
Now the best players are going to actually do a combination of all three of

368
00:16:03.250 --> 00:16:04.300
those movements.

369
00:16:04.300 --> 00:16:09.260
So they're going to have a little bit of this slide as they rotate and then

370
00:16:09.260 --> 00:16:10.380
vertical jump

371
00:16:10.380 --> 00:16:11.660
late.

372
00:16:11.660 --> 00:16:17.780
So that helps create the transfer through this core into that left shoulder.

373
00:16:17.780 --> 00:16:22.450
As I slide I'm loading against the ground, we'll talk a little bit more about

374
00:16:22.450 --> 00:16:22.940
that.

375
00:16:22.940 --> 00:16:26.090
So as I slide I'm loading against the ground or I'm compressing against the

376
00:16:26.090 --> 00:16:26.780
ground so that

377
00:16:26.780 --> 00:16:32.100
when I then drive that leg it can help create this side bend and trunk rotation

378
00:16:32.100 --> 00:16:32.460
.

379
00:16:32.460 --> 00:16:37.990
So when I say loading against the ground, what I mean is there are a couple

380
00:16:37.990 --> 00:16:39.100
different kinds

381
00:16:39.100 --> 00:16:43.760
of ways I can use the ground for force but in order to move my legs I've got to

382
00:16:43.760 --> 00:16:43.860
have

383
00:16:43.860 --> 00:16:48.500
some friction that's why we wear spikes and why we used to wear metal spikes

384
00:16:48.500 --> 00:16:48.700
right because

385
00:16:48.700 --> 00:16:52.540
that allows my foot to grip against the ground which gives me something to then

386
00:16:52.540 --> 00:16:53.020
push off

387
00:16:53.020 --> 00:16:56.340
of called ground force reaction.

388
00:16:56.340 --> 00:17:01.490
Well the more that I push down it's almost like if you remember from the karate

389
00:17:01.490 --> 00:17:02.140
kid, Mr.

390
00:17:02.140 --> 00:17:06.110
Miyagi put his hands together, pushed and as he pushed he'd move back and forth

391
00:17:06.110 --> 00:17:06.500
and the

392
00:17:06.500 --> 00:17:07.500
friction would create heat.

393
00:17:07.500 --> 00:17:10.320
If you just put your hands together but you're not pushing and you just go back

394
00:17:10.320 --> 00:17:10.740
and forth

395
00:17:10.740 --> 00:17:13.900
it creates very very little amount of heat.

396
00:17:13.900 --> 00:17:18.600
The more that I push down in either foot so that's why you'll see Roy McElroy

397
00:17:18.600 --> 00:17:19.500
Tiger Woods,

398
00:17:19.500 --> 00:17:23.370
a lot of really good golfers have this drop movement in fact it's virtually

399
00:17:23.370 --> 00:17:24.140
impossible

400
00:17:24.140 --> 00:17:28.420
not to as if you're making a really good golf swing.

401
00:17:28.420 --> 00:17:31.260
So I have this drop movement which is like pushing my hands together and now

402
00:17:31.260 --> 00:17:31.740
that they're

403
00:17:31.740 --> 00:17:35.230
pushed together I can kind of really push them apart or I can really push

404
00:17:35.230 --> 00:17:35.780
through the

405
00:17:35.780 --> 00:17:36.980
ground.

406
00:17:36.980 --> 00:17:41.650
If I tend to just go into say back extension vertical jump now I can't push

407
00:17:41.650 --> 00:17:42.300
against the

408
00:17:42.300 --> 00:17:46.220
ground as much and I'm left with just kind of throwing my arms.

409
00:17:46.220 --> 00:17:50.580
So you'll start to see some of these patterns of how people are creating speed.

410
00:17:50.580 --> 00:17:56.380
Again if you look up until about the leery position so that first third of the

411
00:17:56.380 --> 00:17:57.580
downswing

412
00:17:57.580 --> 00:18:02.940
is where the majority of the speed creation is really taking place.

413
00:18:02.940 --> 00:18:07.620
Now that you've taken a look at the major power sources and how they will look

414
00:18:07.620 --> 00:18:08.140
even more

415
00:18:08.140 --> 00:18:11.170
at how they affect the path but the major power sources of the legs, the major

416
00:18:11.170 --> 00:18:11.500
power

417
00:18:11.500 --> 00:18:14.380
sources of the trunk, the major power source of the arms.

418
00:18:14.380 --> 00:18:17.950
I'm sure you're thinking to yourself oh man I'm an arm dominant swinger, I'm a

419
00:18:17.950 --> 00:18:18.340
lower

420
00:18:18.340 --> 00:18:20.780
body dominant swinger how do I balance it.

421
00:18:20.780 --> 00:18:25.670
My first word of caution is to make sure that it's truly a power source problem

422
00:18:25.670 --> 00:18:25.980
.

423
00:18:25.980 --> 00:18:27.340
Let's take an example.

424
00:18:27.340 --> 00:18:32.080
So if I have a grip that's very much in the palms and very, very weak, so I'm

425
00:18:32.080 --> 00:18:32.660
kind of

426
00:18:32.660 --> 00:18:38.300
like this and the club is coming down, the club face is coming down super open.

427
00:18:38.300 --> 00:18:41.220
This is almost as open as I could get it.

428
00:18:41.220 --> 00:18:46.430
Well if I see myself as a jump and I think oh I'm over using my power source of

429
00:18:46.430 --> 00:18:47.020
my lower

430
00:18:47.020 --> 00:18:52.210
body I better get my upper body moving and start to use my core more, well you

431
00:18:52.210 --> 00:18:52.700
have to

432
00:18:52.700 --> 00:18:56.500
understand how that's going to affect the path in the face.

433
00:18:56.500 --> 00:18:59.580
Basically I want you to make sure that you have a solid face to path

434
00:18:59.580 --> 00:19:00.740
relationship during

435
00:19:00.740 --> 00:19:05.580
the entire downswing and that you have a pretty good control of the path before

436
00:19:05.580 --> 00:19:05.860
you

437
00:19:05.860 --> 00:19:10.180
start making any major power source changes.

438
00:19:10.180 --> 00:19:14.940
Because if I was doing this example where I'm wide open like so and then I was

439
00:19:14.940 --> 00:19:15.460
to add

440
00:19:15.460 --> 00:19:18.220
more rotation I'd shank the ball like crazy.

441
00:19:18.220 --> 00:19:22.580
That jump is all I have to help me square the club face.

442
00:19:22.580 --> 00:19:27.250
So you have to make sure that what you're actually working on is a power source

443
00:19:27.250 --> 00:19:27.500
problem

444
00:19:27.500 --> 00:19:31.620
and that there's no barriers to working on that power source problem.

445
00:19:31.620 --> 00:19:37.100
And when a lot of golfers start working on their power sources the common

446
00:19:37.100 --> 00:19:38.020
pattern is

447
00:19:38.020 --> 00:19:45.220
to go from 0 or from 100 to 0 as opposed to 100 to 50.

448
00:19:45.220 --> 00:19:49.480
When we see these golfers make this golf swing you'll see a blend of these

449
00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:50.420
power sources

450
00:19:50.420 --> 00:19:53.940
and it just doesn't look like they're really swinging too hard at least not on

451
00:19:53.940 --> 00:19:54.320
TV.

452
00:19:54.320 --> 00:19:57.900
You see them in person you'll see that they're swinging pretty hard.

453
00:19:57.900 --> 00:20:01.380
But they're using each component a certain percentage.

454
00:20:01.380 --> 00:20:06.900
So let's say I'm using 70% of my max on my legs, 70 my core, 70 my arms, that's

455
00:20:06.900 --> 00:20:07.020
going

456
00:20:07.020 --> 00:20:10.860
to look very, very comfortable.

457
00:20:10.860 --> 00:20:15.820
Now let's say I got an amateur golfer and we're using kind of 100 arms and it

458
00:20:15.820 --> 00:20:16.300
looks

459
00:20:16.300 --> 00:20:17.820
kind of like that.

460
00:20:17.820 --> 00:20:21.360
What'll usually happen is at first you're going to have to go down to 0 and

461
00:20:21.360 --> 00:20:22.000
then build

462
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:23.100
it back in.

463
00:20:23.100 --> 00:20:27.740
So you may go from all arms to now you're doing like a tea drill or something

464
00:20:27.740 --> 00:20:27.980
like that

465
00:20:27.980 --> 00:20:31.480
and now you're doing all legs and there's no arms and you're still struggling

466
00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:31.980
hitting

467
00:20:31.980 --> 00:20:36.860
the ball because you will have to figure out what it's like to feel this new

468
00:20:36.860 --> 00:20:37.900
power source

469
00:20:37.900 --> 00:20:42.420
becoming involved and then add your existing power source.

470
00:20:42.420 --> 00:20:47.100
So if I do that tea drill and I'm getting all legs and core starting to feel

471
00:20:47.100 --> 00:20:48.060
comfortable

472
00:20:48.060 --> 00:20:52.740
with it now I can add a little bit of arms there kind of at that last point

473
00:20:52.740 --> 00:20:53.460
somewhere

474
00:20:53.460 --> 00:20:54.460
in here.

475
00:20:54.460 --> 00:20:59.120
So it's very common to go from all to none but notice or recognize that I don't

476
00:20:59.120 --> 00:20:59.220
want

477
00:20:59.220 --> 00:21:03.080
you to completely neutralize your main power source I just want you to learn

478
00:21:03.080 --> 00:21:03.660
how to use

479
00:21:03.660 --> 00:21:05.620
it and balance it.

480
00:21:05.620 --> 00:21:10.140
Looking at your swing you can see what power sources you naturally use well.

481
00:21:10.140 --> 00:21:14.000
If you naturally use your legs well you will tend to see a lot of this vertical

482
00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:14.700
jump or

483
00:21:14.700 --> 00:21:16.140
a lot of leg drive.

484
00:21:16.140 --> 00:21:21.500
You tend to see your core you will rarely see a dominant rotation.

485
00:21:21.500 --> 00:21:25.020
What you'll tend to see is you'll either have kind of a back extension or you

486
00:21:25.020 --> 00:21:25.700
'll have kind

487
00:21:25.700 --> 00:21:26.860
of a chop pattern.

488
00:21:26.860 --> 00:21:30.380
If you tend to use your shoulders well you'll tend to see maybe a little bit of

489
00:21:30.380 --> 00:21:30.860
sway to

490
00:21:30.860 --> 00:21:36.220
help load it but you'll tend to see a very vertical big arm movement.

491
00:21:36.220 --> 00:21:40.900
Training what you have will help guide you how these key movements work into

492
00:21:40.900 --> 00:21:41.540
your stock

493
00:21:41.540 --> 00:21:42.700
full swing.

494
00:21:42.700 --> 00:21:44.340
Let's take me for an example.

495
00:21:44.340 --> 00:21:48.370
I played a lot of tennis growing up and I loved hitting topspin so I developed

496
00:21:48.370 --> 00:21:48.780
a good

497
00:21:48.780 --> 00:21:53.020
power source of leg drive back extension.

498
00:21:53.020 --> 00:21:58.500
Leg drive side to back extension because I was kind of a skinny little scrawny

499
00:21:58.500 --> 00:21:59.020
kid but

500
00:21:59.020 --> 00:22:03.070
I was pretty explosive and I could create really massive topspin with a big

501
00:22:03.070 --> 00:22:03.660
loop.

502
00:22:03.660 --> 00:22:06.980
It wasn't good for me but I had fun doing it.

503
00:22:06.980 --> 00:22:10.730
What that did when I started to play golf is I was a great driver of the golf

504
00:22:10.730 --> 00:22:11.420
ball almost

505
00:22:11.420 --> 00:22:16.090
instantly because I would tend to use my lower body and then that extension and

506
00:22:16.090 --> 00:22:16.500
now I'm in

507
00:22:16.500 --> 00:22:21.150
a very shallow path and I'd have no problem hitting a nice kind of rope draw

508
00:22:21.150 --> 00:22:21.700
that rolled

509
00:22:21.700 --> 00:22:23.940
a long way.

510
00:22:23.940 --> 00:22:30.050
Other golfers say I have a client who was a swimmer and he swam mostly with his

511
00:22:30.050 --> 00:22:30.380
arm

512
00:22:30.380 --> 00:22:34.420
catch so he had really big lats, really strong powerful upper body.

513
00:22:34.420 --> 00:22:38.390
He tends to be more of an arm dominant swinger so he'll struggle a little bit

514
00:22:38.390 --> 00:22:39.060
more with the

515
00:22:39.060 --> 00:22:40.060
driver.

516
00:22:40.060 --> 00:22:44.940
If you tend to be more of an arm dominant movement it's going to tend to get

517
00:22:44.940 --> 00:22:45.740
you a little bit

518
00:22:45.740 --> 00:22:48.140
more steep, a little bit more leftward.

519
00:22:48.140 --> 00:22:52.820
You'll have the tendency to hit a fade and typically be better with the wedges,

520
00:22:52.820 --> 00:22:53.420
typically

521
00:22:53.420 --> 00:22:56.620
better with the shorter clubs, have a little bit of trouble off the tee.

522
00:22:56.620 --> 00:23:01.760
If you're more of a leg or an extension or side bend driven golfer you're going

523
00:23:01.760 --> 00:23:02.540
to tend

524
00:23:02.540 --> 00:23:07.250
to have better driving or long game and you're going to tend to struggle a lot

525
00:23:07.250 --> 00:23:08.340
with the wedges

526
00:23:08.340 --> 00:23:13.020
because the wedges are going to be much more of a club face relationship to

527
00:23:13.020 --> 00:23:13.540
path with a

528
00:23:13.540 --> 00:23:18.660
shoulder driven swing where the driver is much more of a path driven movement

529
00:23:18.660 --> 00:23:19.420
from the lower

530
00:23:19.420 --> 00:23:20.420
body.

531
00:23:20.420 --> 00:23:24.280
Now one word of caution is as you go through this process of trying to balance

532
00:23:24.280 --> 00:23:25.460
things out

533
00:23:25.460 --> 00:23:29.730
typically what will happen is you're going to need feedback other than just

534
00:23:29.730 --> 00:23:30.420
what you're

535
00:23:30.420 --> 00:23:31.420
feeling.

536
00:23:31.420 --> 00:23:35.010
Typically what will happen is when you try to change your power sources it's

537
00:23:35.010 --> 00:23:35.500
going to

538
00:23:35.500 --> 00:23:38.340
feel not powerful at all.

539
00:23:38.340 --> 00:23:43.120
Frequently I've had golfers who lose as little as a mile or two in club head

540
00:23:43.120 --> 00:23:44.020
speed but actually

541
00:23:44.020 --> 00:23:48.780
pick up distance because of better path face launch characteristics but they

542
00:23:48.780 --> 00:23:49.460
will tell

543
00:23:49.460 --> 00:23:54.220
me I can't play with this it doesn't feel good which means that one of your

544
00:23:54.220 --> 00:23:54.900
challenges

545
00:23:54.900 --> 00:23:59.060
is to get the new power source involved but also connect it with the brain so

546
00:23:59.060 --> 00:23:59.580
that it

547
00:23:59.580 --> 00:24:01.340
feels powerful.

548
00:24:01.340 --> 00:24:06.670
For me I have to add a whole lot of shoulders if I want to try to hit the ball

549
00:24:06.670 --> 00:24:08.420
further so

550
00:24:08.420 --> 00:24:13.100
while I don't necessarily think about firing my lower body any more

551
00:24:13.100 --> 00:24:14.460
aggressively because

552
00:24:14.460 --> 00:24:19.130
I already fire it pretty aggressively I think about really kind of loading and

553
00:24:19.130 --> 00:24:19.580
pulling with

554
00:24:19.580 --> 00:24:23.710
both the left and the right arm almost like I have a cable and I'm going to

555
00:24:23.710 --> 00:24:24.340
attach it

556
00:24:24.340 --> 00:24:27.020
so that I can pull down.

557
00:24:27.020 --> 00:24:32.100
When I do that I tend to actually feel smoother I don't feel like I'm swinging

558
00:24:32.100 --> 00:24:32.860
this hard

559
00:24:32.860 --> 00:24:37.940
but now that I've practiced with it for a while I do actually pick up distance

560
00:24:37.940 --> 00:24:38.540
in fact

561
00:24:38.540 --> 00:24:43.580
if I really add my wrist and my arms as best I can I can pick up about 25-30

562
00:24:43.580 --> 00:24:44.260
yards from

563
00:24:44.260 --> 00:24:48.940
my stock swing but when you take a look at my videos and you see me

564
00:24:48.940 --> 00:24:50.180
demonstrating my

565
00:24:50.180 --> 00:24:55.900
stock swing keep in mind that I'm using it from a framework of a lower body

566
00:24:55.900 --> 00:24:57.060
driven swing

567
00:24:57.060 --> 00:25:02.290
which means that I'm not going to have as vertical arm movement as say a Jack

568
00:25:02.290 --> 00:25:03.060
Nicholas

569
00:25:03.060 --> 00:25:07.190
or something like that but I don't want you to get confused with things like

570
00:25:07.190 --> 00:25:07.860
was it one

571
00:25:07.860 --> 00:25:10.100
plane is it two plane.

572
00:25:10.100 --> 00:25:14.820
The big thing is during the backswing that body stays relatively centered right

573
00:25:14.820 --> 00:25:15.340
we talk

574
00:25:15.340 --> 00:25:20.020
about how to control that pivot wherever you go from the top of the swing and

575
00:25:20.020 --> 00:25:20.500
during

576
00:25:20.500 --> 00:25:25.640
this little load can you get into this delivery position which is somewhere

577
00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:26.940
around here where

578
00:25:26.940 --> 00:25:30.330
the elbows either on your side slightly in front but it's kind of connected

579
00:25:30.330 --> 00:25:30.860
towards your

580
00:25:30.860 --> 00:25:35.650
body club faces in a good position I'm down and then prepared to kind of

581
00:25:35.650 --> 00:25:36.980
deliver the ideal

582
00:25:36.980 --> 00:25:38.140
release.

583
00:25:38.140 --> 00:25:41.870
So I don't want you to get caught up on trying to have kind of a short compact

584
00:25:41.870 --> 00:25:42.500
swing the

585
00:25:42.500 --> 00:25:46.820
way that I do unless you have a really lower body driven swing like me.

586
00:25:46.820 --> 00:25:50.440
You can have vertical arm height I have a lot of students who get that arm

587
00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:50.980
height but

588
00:25:50.980 --> 00:25:55.650
it's important to understand what that arm height signifies and what it means

589
00:25:55.650 --> 00:25:56.060
that you

590
00:25:56.060 --> 00:25:59.740
can ultimately work on if you're trying to balance your swing and improve your

591
00:25:59.740 --> 00:26:00.460
consistency

592
00:26:00.460 --> 00:26:05.100
with your stock move I know that that's a lot of information but I think that

593
00:26:05.100 --> 00:26:05.500
it's very

594
00:26:05.500 --> 00:26:09.670
important for you to understand you can create speed from anywhere within your

595
00:26:09.670 --> 00:26:10.460
body knowing

596
00:26:10.460 --> 00:26:14.550
your dominant power sources and how they affect the path is going to make it

597
00:26:14.550 --> 00:26:15.540
that much easier

598
00:26:15.540 --> 00:26:19.400
for you to understand what your common miss patterns are if you are an upper

599
00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:20.220
body driven

600
00:26:20.220 --> 00:26:23.690
swinger please check out the cast section if you are a lower body driven sw

601
00:26:23.690 --> 00:26:24.420
inger please

602
00:26:24.420 --> 00:26:29.080
check out early extension there are lots of pitfalls that you can fall into

603
00:26:29.080 --> 00:26:29.620
just based

604
00:26:29.620 --> 00:26:34.270
on where you like to create speed and a lot of these things that you may see on

605
00:26:34.270 --> 00:26:34.340
video

606
00:26:34.340 --> 00:26:39.270
or have people tell you could be a result of these power sources and not

607
00:26:39.270 --> 00:26:40.300
necessarily

608
00:26:40.300 --> 00:26:44.270
the real cause the real problem so understand your power sources will help you

609
00:26:44.270 --> 00:26:44.780
understand

610
00:26:44.780 --> 00:26:48.530
your swing and ultimately improve your consistency and enjoyment of the game

611
00:26:48.530 --> 00:26:49.100
long term.
