This concept video is two keys to face control.

1
00:00:08.175 --> 00:00:11.975
A lot of good golfers will complain about face control,

2
00:00:11.975 --> 00:00:13.335
whether it's a two-way miss

3
00:00:13.355 --> 00:00:16.815
or one big miss, they tend to have relatively solid contact.

4
00:00:17.275 --> 00:00:20.255
Um, but once or twice around they hit a, a foul ball

5
00:00:20.285 --> 00:00:22.935
that is just, you know, well offline.

6
00:00:23.115 --> 00:00:26.095
Um, and they can really boil it down to the face

7
00:00:27.335 --> 00:00:29.175
changing a lot on those particular swings.

8
00:00:29.475 --> 00:00:31.855
So, um, in general when someone talks

9
00:00:31.855 --> 00:00:33.775
to me about I have these two, I miss

10
00:00:33.835 --> 00:00:35.975
or I have a lot of face control issues,

11
00:00:36.265 --> 00:00:38.335
there are are two major things

12
00:00:38.335 --> 00:00:40.975
that I am looking at when I start looking at their video.

13
00:00:41.515 --> 00:00:44.895
Um, one is the location of the arms compared to the body,

14
00:00:45.195 --> 00:00:48.535
and two, is the body stall

15
00:00:48.555 --> 00:00:50.775
or the body, um, delivering more

16
00:00:50.775 --> 00:00:52.215
of the hit as opposed to the arms.

17
00:00:52.635 --> 00:00:53.855
Um, and I wouldn't say that one

18
00:00:53.855 --> 00:00:55.895
of these is more important than the other, uh,

19
00:00:55.995 --> 00:00:59.055
but if I had to pick, I'd say the arm location

20
00:00:59.595 --> 00:01:01.455
is probably slightly more important.

21
00:01:01.755 --> 00:01:03.015
So here's, here's what I mean.

22
00:01:03.015 --> 00:01:04.015
I demonstrate this all the time.

23
00:01:04.035 --> 00:01:06.775
Got it from Scott Cos I think it's just a really easy way

24
00:01:06.795 --> 00:01:09.255
to see why do we want to be in lag.

25
00:01:09.635 --> 00:01:12.615
Um, and what I mean by in lag is why do we want the club

26
00:01:12.615 --> 00:01:15.415
to be more behind our body kind of like this at impact?

27
00:01:15.685 --> 00:01:17.695
Well, if you hold the club straight out in front

28
00:01:17.695 --> 00:01:21.335
of you just like this and you were to rotate the club close,

29
00:01:21.875 --> 00:01:24.015
you can feel there's very little resistance.

30
00:01:24.095 --> 00:01:27.135
I can close it easily and if I said, okay, open it

31
00:01:27.135 --> 00:01:29.535
and then try to close and stop it at zero,

32
00:01:29.535 --> 00:01:30.815
you'll see that I overshot it.

33
00:01:30.815 --> 00:01:34.455
Like it's really easy to overshoot the amount

34
00:01:34.455 --> 00:01:36.975
of closing if the club is straight out in front of you.

35
00:01:37.475 --> 00:01:40.575
If on the other hand I put the club more back in this kind

36
00:01:40.575 --> 00:01:41.655
of lag position here

37
00:01:41.915 --> 00:01:44.095
and now I go to close, I feel like a,

38
00:01:44.215 --> 00:01:45.775
I can't close it nearly as much.

39
00:01:45.805 --> 00:01:47.935
There's some physical governors built into the wrist

40
00:01:48.235 --> 00:01:52.535
and b it feels like it kind of closes slower, um, compared

41
00:01:52.535 --> 00:01:54.095
to when the club is straight out in front of me.

42
00:01:55.015 --> 00:01:58.275
So number one, when I'm looking at face control, especially

43
00:01:58.305 --> 00:02:01.875
with the longer clubs, um, especially with the driver, um,

44
00:02:02.375 --> 00:02:05.115
I'm gonna be looking at compared to your body,

45
00:02:05.535 --> 00:02:08.075
how much are the arms behind kind of like this

46
00:02:08.335 --> 00:02:10.875
or have the arms caught up with the body

47
00:02:11.175 --> 00:02:13.075
and sometimes the arms are behind the body

48
00:02:13.075 --> 00:02:15.595
and the shaft is pretty vertical, kind of like this

49
00:02:15.795 --> 00:02:17.795
'cause the upper body's gone forward in this place,

50
00:02:18.095 --> 00:02:19.395
the club is going or in

51
00:02:19.395 --> 00:02:22.315
that location the club is just gonna be twisting really fast

52
00:02:22.695 --> 00:02:24.915
and it's hard to have perfect timing.

53
00:02:25.415 --> 00:02:28.355
Um, every single time what'll usually happen is it's going

54
00:02:28.425 --> 00:02:30.595
from open to shut very quickly.

55
00:02:31.135 --> 00:02:33.755
And if you tend to err on getting more ahead of it,

56
00:02:33.815 --> 00:02:35.235
you hit more of the big block.

57
00:02:35.455 --> 00:02:38.155
And if you tend to err on staying a little bit more

58
00:02:38.255 --> 00:02:42.035
behind you hit more of a pole or maybe even the pole draw.

59
00:02:42.455 --> 00:02:45.635
Um, so rule number one if we're working on face control is

60
00:02:45.635 --> 00:02:47.515
we're trying to get the club more behind.

61
00:02:48.095 --> 00:02:50.475
Now, rule number two is we are trying

62
00:02:50.475 --> 00:02:52.275
to hit the shot more with the body.

63
00:02:52.775 --> 00:02:56.595
The the similar to this concept here, the more that I hit it

64
00:02:56.735 --> 00:03:00.045
by um, releasing the arms in front of the body,

65
00:03:00.345 --> 00:03:02.445
the faster the club face is going to be closing

66
00:03:02.865 --> 00:03:06.245
and the more that I hit it more with the body, bringing it

67
00:03:06.245 --> 00:03:08.525
through or going into a good bracing position

68
00:03:08.825 --> 00:03:11.645
or doing more of this kind of negative torsion.

69
00:03:11.835 --> 00:03:14.325
What'll happen is the club is closing a lot more

70
00:03:14.595 --> 00:03:16.325
gradually down to the bottom.

71
00:03:16.705 --> 00:03:20.605
So the stock tour swing swing kind of builds in the best

72
00:03:20.665 --> 00:03:25.005
of both of those where the club is in a little bit more lag

73
00:03:25.005 --> 00:03:26.005
behind you like this

74
00:03:26.305 --> 00:03:28.645
and then the body is bringing the club through

75
00:03:28.955 --> 00:03:31.405
that helps get a very shallow low point

76
00:03:31.405 --> 00:03:32.645
that's slightly ahead of golf ball

77
00:03:32.715 --> 00:03:35.045
with a more gradual club face closing.

78
00:03:35.105 --> 00:03:37.085
So it tends to give us contact as well

79
00:03:37.085 --> 00:03:38.525
as direction consistency.

80
00:03:38.945 --> 00:03:42.085
But if you're struggling with club face control,

81
00:03:42.325 --> 00:03:45.445
I highly recommend you look at these two, uh, features,

82
00:03:45.445 --> 00:03:47.525
especially from the face on camera view

83
00:03:47.715 --> 00:03:50.205
that will usually point you down the right kind

84
00:03:50.205 --> 00:03:52.605
of decision tree or right thing to investigate do I need

85
00:03:52.605 --> 00:03:56.725
to work on my arms in order to get them more in front

86
00:03:56.725 --> 00:03:59.165
of my body or do I need to work on my body pivot

87
00:03:59.435 --> 00:04:02.445
with the arms in order to get more of a body driven hit.

88
00:04:02.455 --> 00:04:05.405
Those two will ultimately help you eliminate usually more

89
00:04:05.405 --> 00:04:07.165
of the left and the big right miss.

90
00:04:07.385 --> 00:04:09.045
Um, but ultimately it, it boils down

91
00:04:09.045 --> 00:04:11.085
to giving you a lot better club face control.
