Visual Impact Training - Driver
The purpose of visual impact training is to get used to the different look of the club and arm movements at set up compared to impact. If you want to hit a straight shot with some shaft lean then you are going to have to have the face closed to the shaft at impact. Here is a simple way to visualize and train this key component to the release.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.540
This drill is visual impact training for the driver.
2
00:00:04.540 --> 00:00:09.120
So the visual impact training is just getting used to what the club and the
3
00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:09.840
hands will do
4
00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:12.320
differently between setup and impact.
5
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:17.360
So in setup, my hands are more or less in the middle of my body and my wrist
6
00:00:17.360 --> 00:00:17.760
has a little
7
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:20.840
bit of extension in it or cup.
8
00:00:20.840 --> 00:00:25.330
Well when I get to impact, everybody's talked about for a long time that you
9
00:00:25.330 --> 00:00:26.440
want to flatten
10
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:29.520
that left wrist or get that left wrist relatively straight.
11
00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:33.060
So if all I do is take my grip and then I work to flatten that wrist without
12
00:00:33.060 --> 00:00:33.960
changing anything
13
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:38.440
else, you can see that what I did was I went from here to there.
14
00:00:38.440 --> 00:00:43.120
So I challenge students a lot to say okay, this is what the club is going to
15
00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:43.860
look like
16
00:00:43.860 --> 00:00:47.040
at impact, how could you still hit it straight?
17
00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:50.920
And they'll come up with a lot of different answers and different ideas.
18
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:54.760
But basically what happens is, if I get into my normal driver setup, what's
19
00:00:54.760 --> 00:00:55.600
going to happen
20
00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:00.090
is I'm going to have body rotation with my hands staying in front and that's
21
00:01:00.090 --> 00:01:00.320
going to
22
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:05.000
delay how that straightening of that left wrist is going to look.
23
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:11.250
So if you struggle with getting your body rotated, getting your body open,
24
00:01:11.250 --> 00:01:12.520
having enough
25
00:01:12.520 --> 00:01:16.480
side tilt to do well with the driver, oftentimes it's because you're trying to
26
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:17.280
bring the club
27
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:23.950
back into its original position of where it started where to execute the stock
28
00:01:23.950 --> 00:01:25.520
swing correctly,
29
00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:29.450
you want to bring the club back in somewhere around 30 degrees more close than
30
00:01:29.450 --> 00:01:30.000
where it
31
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:31.280
was.
32
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:35.000
That's just from the arms perspective because the body will be in a totally
33
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:37.000
different position,
34
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.400
which is what's going to make that new wrist orientation work.
35
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:47.180
So you can use this in nine to three swings of basically, okay, I'm going to
36
00:01:47.180 --> 00:01:47.880
get into this
37
00:01:47.880 --> 00:01:52.380
position and then I'm going to try and basically make a little nine to three
38
00:01:52.380 --> 00:01:53.080
move and it's
39
00:01:53.080 --> 00:01:58.210
going to feel like it has an exaggerated shallowing of the path and exaggerated
40
00:01:58.210 --> 00:01:59.400
getting my body
41
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:05.360
open, but you're going to experiment with how could I hit it straight and not
42
00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:06.200
snap hook
43
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:11.840
the ball with a good visual orientation of the club face.
44
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:15.340
So again, I'm going to set up, I'm going to get into that where my wrists are
45
00:02:15.340 --> 00:02:15.720
going
46
00:02:15.720 --> 00:02:20.780
to be at impact and then I'm going to see if I can just use my body to hit that
47
00:02:20.780 --> 00:02:21.320
relatively
48
00:02:21.320 --> 00:02:23.560
straight on kind of a nine to three.
49
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:27.580
So if you struggle with having club face issues, visual impact training can
50
00:02:27.580 --> 00:02:28.560
help your brain
51
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.990
kind of orient how the club is going to change and how your body is going to
52
00:02:31.990 --> 00:02:33.200
have to respond
53
00:02:33.200 --> 00:02:36.720
and that can ultimately help you with your angle of tack with the driver.
54
00:02:36.720 --> 00:02:39.350
Now I just want to highlight some of the key differences between when we do
55
00:02:39.350 --> 00:02:39.800
this with
56
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:41.720
an iron and when we do this with a driver.
57
00:02:41.720 --> 00:02:48.190
So if I do this with an iron, right, what ends up happening is it's more of the
58
00:02:48.190 --> 00:02:48.760
hands
59
00:02:48.760 --> 00:02:53.260
staying in front of my body and my body pointing out there that squares the
60
00:02:53.260 --> 00:02:54.520
club face, right?
61
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:59.670
So you can see that my arms stayed relatively straight or my trail arm because
62
00:02:59.670 --> 00:03:00.400
I'm going
63
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:03.560
to have that arm straighter because I'm not going to have as much side bend.
64
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:09.080
I'm not going to be as far behind the golf ball as I would be with the driver.
65
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:17.620
Now when I switch and hit the driver, what ends up happening is if I did it
66
00:03:17.620 --> 00:03:18.880
just like
67
00:03:18.880 --> 00:03:22.500
an iron, you can see that I would have way too much shaft lean and angle of the
68
00:03:22.500 --> 00:03:22.920
tack.
69
00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:26.440
So what ends up happening is I get it here, but then because my upper body is
70
00:03:26.440 --> 00:03:27.000
actually
71
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:32.780
more behind, even though to my body, I still have shaft lean to the ball, it's
72
00:03:32.780 --> 00:03:33.760
fairly neutral
73
00:03:33.760 --> 00:03:37.920
because my upper body has stayed more behind kind of like so.
74
00:03:37.920 --> 00:03:42.410
So this is a great little drill that ties together a few pieces that will help
75
00:03:42.410 --> 00:03:43.160
you unlock some
76
00:03:43.160 --> 00:03:45.720
of the mysteries of why you may be struggling with the driver.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.540

Visual Impact Training - Driver
The purpose of visual impact training is to get used to the different look of the club and arm movements at set up compared to impact. If you want to hit a straight shot with some shaft lean then you are going to have to have the face closed to the shaft at impact. Here is a simple way to visualize and train this key component to the release.

00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:43.860
look like
16
00:00:43.860 --> 00:00:47.040
at impact, how could you still hit it straight?
17
00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:50.920
And they'll come up with a lot of different answers and different ideas.
18
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:54.760
But basically what happens is, if I get into my normal driver setup, what's
19
00:00:54.760 --> 00:00:55.600
going to happen
20
00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:00.090
is I'm going to have body rotation with my hands staying in front and that's
21
00:01:00.090 --> 00:01:00.320
going to
22
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:05.000
delay how that straightening of that left wrist is going to look.
23
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:11.250
So if you struggle with getting your body rotated, getting your body open,
24
00:01:11.250 --> 00:01:12.520
having enough
25
00:01:12.520 --> 00:01:16.480
side tilt to do well with the driver, oftentimes it's because you're trying to
26
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:17.280
bring the club
27
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:23.950
back into its original position of where it started where to execute the stock
28
00:01:23.950 --> 00:01:25.520
swing correctly,
29
00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:29.450
you want to bring the club back in somewhere around 30 degrees more close than
30
00:01:29.450 --> 00:01:30.000
where it
31
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:31.280
was.
32
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:35.000
That's just from the arms perspective because the body will be in a totally
33
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:37.000
different position,
34
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.400
which is what's going to make that new wrist orientation work.
35
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:47.180
So you can use this in nine to three swings of basically, okay, I'm going to
36
00:01:47.180 --> 00:01:47.880
get into this
37
00:01:47.880 --> 00:01:52.380
position and then I'm going to try and basically make a little nine to three
38
00:01:52.380 --> 00:01:53.080
move and it's
39
00:01:53.080 --> 00:01:58.210
going to feel like it has an exaggerated shallowing of the path and exaggerated
40
00:01:58.210 --> 00:01:59.400
getting my body
41
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:05.360
open, but you're going to experiment with how could I hit it straight and not
42
00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:06.200
snap hook
43
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:11.840
the ball with a good visual orientation of the club face.
44
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:15.340
So again, I'm going to set up, I'm going to get into that where my wrists are
45
00:02:15.340 --> 00:02:15.720
going
46
00:02:15.720 --> 00:02:20.780
to be at impact and then I'm going to see if I can just use my body to hit that
47
00:02:20.780 --> 00:02:21.320
relatively
48
00:02:21.320 --> 00:02:23.560
straight on kind of a nine to three.
49
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:27.580
So if you struggle with having club face issues, visual impact training can
50
00:02:27.580 --> 00:02:28.560
help your brain
51
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.990
kind of orient how the club is going to change and how your body is going to
52
00:02:31.990 --> 00:02:33.200
have to respond
53
00:02:33.200 --> 00:02:36.720
and that can ultimately help you with your angle of tack with the driver.
54
00:02:36.720 --> 00:02:39.350
Now I just want to highlight some of the key differences between when we do
55
00:02:39.350 --> 00:02:39.800
this with
56
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:41.720
an iron and when we do this with a driver.
57
00:02:41.720 --> 00:02:48.190
So if I do this with an iron, right, what ends up happening is it's more of the
58
00:02:48.190 --> 00:02:48.760
hands
59
00:02:48.760 --> 00:02:53.260
staying in front of my body and my body pointing out there that squares the
60
00:02:53.260 --> 00:02:54.520
club face, right?
61
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:59.670
So you can see that my arms stayed relatively straight or my trail arm because
62
00:02:59.670 --> 00:03:00.400
I'm going
63
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:03.560
to have that arm straighter because I'm not going to have as much side bend.
64
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:09.080
I'm not going to be as far behind the golf ball as I would be with the driver.
65
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:17.620
Now when I switch and hit the driver, what ends up happening is if I did it
66
00:03:17.620 --> 00:03:18.880
just like
67
00:03:18.880 --> 00:03:22.500
an iron, you can see that I would have way too much shaft lean and angle of the
68
00:03:22.500 --> 00:03:22.920
tack.
69
00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:26.440
So what ends up happening is I get it here, but then because my upper body is
70
00:03:26.440 --> 00:03:27.000
actually
71
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:32.780
more behind, even though to my body, I still have shaft lean to the ball, it's
72
00:03:32.780 --> 00:03:33.760
fairly neutral
73
00:03:33.760 --> 00:03:37.920
because my upper body has stayed more behind kind of like so.
74
00:03:37.920 --> 00:03:42.410
So this is a great little drill that ties together a few pieces that will help
75
00:03:42.410 --> 00:03:43.160
you unlock some
76
00:03:43.160 --> 00:03:45.720
of the mysteries of why you may be struggling with the driver.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.540
This drill is visual impact training for the driver.
2
00:00:04.540 --> 00:00:09.120
So the visual impact training is just getting used to what the club and the
3
00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:09.840
hands will do
4
00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:12.320
differently between setup and impact.
5
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:17.360
So in setup, my hands are more or less in the middle of my body and my wrist
6
00:00:17.360 --> 00:00:17.760
has a little
7
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:20.840
bit of extension in it or cup.
8
00:00:20.840 --> 00:00:25.330
Well when I get to impact, everybody's talked about for a long time that you
9
00:00:25.330 --> 00:00:26.440
want to flatten
10
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:29.520
that left wrist or get that left wrist relatively straight.
11
00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:33.060
So if all I do is take my grip and then I work to flatten that wrist without
12
00:00:33.060 --> 00:00:33.960
changing anything
13
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:38.440
else, you can see that what I did was I went from here to there.
14
00:00:38.440 --> 00:00:43.120
So I challenge students a lot to say okay, this is what the club is going to
15
00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:43.860
look like
16
00:00:43.860 --> 00:00:47.040
at impact, how could you still hit it straight?
17
00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:50.920
And they'll come up with a lot of different answers and different ideas.
18
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:54.760
But basically what happens is, if I get into my normal driver setup, what's
19
00:00:54.760 --> 00:00:55.600
going to happen
20
00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:00.090
is I'm going to have body rotation with my hands staying in front and that's
21
00:01:00.090 --> 00:01:00.320
going to
22
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:05.000
delay how that straightening of that left wrist is going to look.
23
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:11.250
So if you struggle with getting your body rotated, getting your body open,
24
00:01:11.250 --> 00:01:12.520
having enough
25
00:01:12.520 --> 00:01:16.480

was.
32
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:35.000
That's just from the arms perspective because the body will be in a totally
33
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:37.000

43
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:11.840
the ball with a good visual orientation of the club face.
44
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:15.340
So again, I'm going to set up, I'm going to get into that where my wrists are
